A deliciously spooky set-piece, mixing horror and subtly dystopian cli-fi in an alternate magical future-history. The plot is pretty by the numbers for an urban fantasy, but the world and the characters more than make up for it, and there's pleasure in a well-executed mystery full of guns on the wall waiting to fire.
