What the Dead Know
by Nghi Vo
I'm about to embark on some long, hard, and boring books, so I figured I'd hit some quick and easy ones to keep the numbers up.
What the Dead Know is a novelette around a pair of mediums in late 19th century America. One is an exotic European, one is Vietnamese, and together they con people with parlor tricks and minor magical powers. A séance at a failing girl's school goes in an unexpected direction, and our narrator discovers a terrible crime and watches the dead take revenge.
It's short, it's stylish, and a day later I have only the vaguest impressions of what's up. A fine creampuff.
