It doesn't take long for this intriguing noir styled detective story set on a wandering tank of a city to go full Tamsyn Muir. One minute it's reminiscent of Fallout New Vegas and then comes to body horror, and the imaginatively written rending of flesh. 

Muir packs in a lot for a short story with a compelling story that provides a satisfying conclusion and lots of intriguing world building from the mechanised travelling cities run by rival gangs to the rather disturbing take on Ghouls.
