Djèlí Clark in 2016, A Dead Djinn in Cairo takes place in an Alternate History Myth Punk version of 1912 Egypt where supernatural beings walk the streets and a sinister plot is afoot.There was once a time that mythical creatures were just that— mythical. And then the wandering mystic al-Jahiz bore a hole through reality to the other-realm of Djinn and those apocryphal creatures poured into the world of mankind, irrevocably changing the tide of destiny as they involved themselves and their magics in politics, warfare, and civil society.All that was decades ago. Nowadays, those beings live openly alongside the mortal denizens of the modern metropolis of Cairo. Fatma el-Sha'arawi is a Special Investigator for the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities — a taskforce that handles crime and law enforcement as it pertains to Egypt's otherworldly citizens. When she sets out to investigate the apparent suicide of a powerful Djinn, she's swept up in a whirlwind of a case that will test every ounce of her considerable cunning. Trawling the city's underbelly for clues, Fatma will have to fight off rampaging Ghuls, tangle with a saucy assassin, and contend with a passel of inscrutable clockwork creatures that may or may not be Angels. As she races against the clock to piece together a mystery that stubbornly eludes her grasp, she discovers the outline of a scheme that could tear down the already-fragile barriers between the world of men and the world of old magic — and who knows what waits on the other side?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Author Clark has since expanded the canon with another short story titled The Angel of Khan el-Khalili, a novella titled The Haunting of Tram Car 015, and a full-length novel titled A Master of Djinn.A Dead Djinn in Cairo is available in its entirety on publisher Tor's website.

	A Dead Djinn in Cairo / int_776a06eb	comment	All Myths Are True: Forty years before the start of the narration, a wandering mystic named al-Jahiz opened a gateway to the realm of Djinn and other mythical creatures. Since then, spirits and magical beings previously relegated to the realm of myth have begun to appear in the human world, living openly amongst mortals. "Angels," Djinn, and other supernatural entities are a part of every day life.
