Review of 'A Dead Djinn in Cairo: A Tor.Com Original' on 'GoodReads'
3 stars
Quite a lot of story and world building packed into this novelette. And if you are into this sort of thing, there is a much longer sequel, "The Haunting of Tram Car 015" that fleshes out the setting even more.
A bit predictable as far as mysteries go, but really atmospheric. Recommended.
