The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah BrooksMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Take Murder on the Orient Express by way of Chloe Gong, who as I remember set one of her novellas on another version of the Trans-Siberian Express, but with a bit more mystery and a bit less magic. Add in the cosmic creepery of Annihilation, but this time with a storyline that can actually be followed, and a strong, if on the nose, railway metaphor for capitalism and unchecked development and scientific hubris. Mix thoroughly, and this is the alchemical result.
