|title=Ghost Train to New Orleans: Book 2 of the Shambling Guides
|rating=4
|genre=Fantasy
|summary= After delivering [[The Shambling Guide to New York City (The Shambling Guides) by Mur Lafferty|The Shambling Guide to New York]], a travel guide for the coterie of the undead, Zoe the inadvertent citytalker goes to New Orleans to research the next one. She sets off with a feeling of foreboding, but perhaps she's being overly pessimistic? I mean, she's travelling with two gods, (one of whom is a rather strident ex-Valkyrie), a baby dragon, two vampires (one of whom hates her) and Arthur, her boyfriend the Public Works employee. (Yes, Public Works as in the body that polices and, where necessary, clears away the coterie.) Oh and by the way, Arthur may be turning into a zombie soon. The trip will be fine; what could possibly go wrong?

|summary= Hadrian Blackwater (ex-soldier, ex-lots-of-things) and Royce Melborn (exemplary thief and grump) are summoned to Melengar by Professor Arcadius. The duo may not know each other and arrive separately, but as they meet and begin the Professor's mission together a legend is born: The Riyria. (That's elvish for two by the way.) Meanwhile a prostitute named Gwen escapes to save her life. Across the road (ok... she didn't run far) she goes into business leading her to a place in fantasy novel history.
