Reading most of this marveling at how invested I was in the ordinary, extremely low stakes and then it turns into a full on ghost story.

'The Overcoat' is a classic novella by Nikolai Gogol. The story mixes a lot of genres, like magical realism, mystery, humour, and more. The story is also quite sad for many reasons other than the main character's ending.
