In the anthology, Carniepunk.
An enjoyable little story where our narrator, Doodle, follows a sociopath around a travelling carnival.
But all is not as it seems with Doodle, and it’s a really good twist to the ending. I’d definitely be interested in reading more stories from Doodle if Rob ever gets around to writing a series.

A Change of Heart — Gaie Sebold
In the anthology, Wicked Women.
A quick trip to visit Babylon Steel, yeah, you remember her.
Sadly it’s just a short, but us Babylon Steel fans will take any words we can get from Gaie on this wonderful character.
This time Babylon takes on a necromancer, or two.
Super good, but just so wish Gaie would write a few more Babylon Steel novels.

Skin Magic — P. Djèlí Clark
You can find this in the anthology, Griots: Sword and Soul.
I was hoping for more of the similar and i wasn’t disappointed.
Once again we’re thrown right into North-African/Middle-Eastern folk lore kind of stuff with Djèlí’s incredible writing that just keeps dragging you along without a pause.
Djèlí’s writing is so refreshing, and i’m so looking forward to reading many more of his stories in the future.
Next up in the Djèlí timeline is Ghost Marriage.
