The Haunting of Tram Car 015

How it reads

The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is fantasy (historical fantasy novella, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in a big city setting, in the historical past, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are justice, power and politics and identity. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 130 pages it's a single-sitting book. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
