I didn't get much reading done this week either; still reading My Name is Nobody by Matthew Richardson.

Read DuMort by Michelle Tang (gaslamp horror, novella) | bingo: minority author, short, new, steppin' up
In a city where even speaking the names of the dead is a punishable blasphemy, an upper-class woman seeks out an occultist to help rid her of an angry ghost.
I wanted something compelling to get me back into my reading groove, and this helped, I think? It definitely had some cool ideas and the world-building was strong for the length, but it was also a little too yearn-y for my taste, and I would have liked more description of what went down at the end. Enjoyable, though.
