Cairo, 1912: The case started as a simple one for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities — handling a possessed tram car.

Soon, however, Agent Hamed Nasr and his new partner Agent Onsi Youssef are exposed to a new side of Cairo stirring with suffragettes, secret societies, and sentient automatons in a race against time to protect the city from an encroaching danger that crosses the line between the magical and the mundane.

“This novella is perfect and I loved it and you should read it…. [A]vivid, loving imagining of what a successfully decolonized Middle-East and North Africa could look like, with people looking at each other and seeing each other and their differences without the interfering, distorting lenses of whiteness and imperialism. . . . The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is a zippy, wonderful romp, and it’s made me want to seek out everything P. Djèlí Clark has written in this setting (there’s a novelette on Tor.com as well, “A Dead Djinn in Cairo,” from 2016).”
