The Lighthouse at Blackwater Hall
THE LIGHTHOUSE AT BLACKWATER HALL Chapter I The candle blew out on its own, and Arthur Blackwood watched the wisp of smoke curl toward the candlestick ceiling like a prayer that had been answered by someone who did not understand the words. He was seventeen today. Seven days from his eighteenth birthday, according to the old calendar in the hall. Seven days, and the candle would take him, just...

The Broken Node
Debbie OConnor lived in the East End of London in 1985 and her job was keeping things together. She was not paid for it. Nobody paid for keeping things together. It was the work of the invisible the work of women like her mother and her grandmother before her who had held their communities together with tea and tight lips and an ability to know everything that was happening on the street...

The neon cross above Morrison's Clinic flickered like a dying heartbeat. Jack Morrison stared at it from his chair behind the desk, wondering if he had the energy to change the bulb or if he should just let it go dark.
It was 11 PM on a Tuesday in November 1947. The clinic was a converted storefront on East Third Street in Skid Row, downtown Los Angeles. The sign had said "Morrison & Associates" once, but Morrison had dropped the "& Associates" three years ago when the last associate left to join a real hospital in Beverly Hills. Jack had been a medic in Normandy. He had pulled boys out of hedgerows with...

The Absurd Rescue (V-08)
In the mid-century haze of Manhattan, where the skyscrapers looked like giant grey tombstones and the people moved like clockwork, lived a man named Arthur. Arthur was a man of profound insignificance, a clerk in a department of records that recorded other records. One afternoon, while walking home through a sudden, illogical fog, Arthur encountered a scene of absolute chaos. A woman was being...

The Silver Root's Curse
The moors of Yorkshire stretched like a wound across the sky, grey and endless. Thomas Blackthorn stood at the edge of the cliff, his thin shirt flapping in the wind, and watched the last light die behind the hills. He was fourteen years old, and he had already learned that the world was not a kind place. Two months earlier, his parents had died of the fever that swept through the village like...

The Iron Larder of Blackmoor Hall
I arrived at Blackmoor Hall on a Tuesday in November, when the fog had already begun its annual siege of the Yorkshire moors. The estate stood before me like a bone picked clean by crows—walls blackened with damp, windows staring out like hollow eye sockets, the iron gates groaning a greeting that sounded more like a warning. Martha Green met me at the door. She was fifty-five if she was a day,...

THE LAST WALL
I. The jazz club on 45th Street smelled of whiskey and regret, which Julian Cross found fitting for a Friday night. He sat at a corner table, nursing a bourbon he couldn't taste, listening to a saxophone player who played notes that sounded like apologies. The black SUV pulled up outside at 11:47 p.m. Two men in dark suits entered through the back door. They found Julian at his table, exactly...

The Moving City
Los Angeles, 2047 The numbers on the page didn't add up. Jack Harlow stared at them for a long time, the cigarette burning down to the filter between his fingers, the smoke curling toward the water-stained ceiling of his office like a prayer nobody was listening to. Three hundred thousand. That was the official number of engineers, technicians, and support staff listed as essential personnel...

The Midnight Signal
I. The jazz was still playing when Claire McCarthy walked into the underground bar on 52nd Street, though the band had long since switched from Charleston to a slow blues that hung in the smoky air like a question nobody wanted to answer. She was twenty-six, Columbia University journalism school graduate, and three weeks earlier she had been the newest investigative reporter at the New York...

THE PATIENT FROM BELOW
Dr. Arthur Voss could not remember how he had arrived at the hospital. This was not, strictly speaking, true. He remembered driving through Vienna on a February evening in 1896, the gas lamps casting amber pools on the wet cobblestones, the carriages bouncing over puddles that reflected the windows of the cafés where men sat drinking brandy and talking about the future of the Balkans. He...

Sample 10: The Geometry of Silence
(Style: Existentialist Minimalist) The town was a smudge of grey on a landscape of grey. It had been five years since the war, and the world had become a place of quiet, exhausted people. Clara lived in a room with one window and one chair. She no longer danced; she simply existed in a series of precise, repetitive motions. Julian arrived on a Tuesday. He carried a leather briefcase and a...

The fog over Whitechapel did not so much settle as suffocate, thick with the breath of a thousand coal fires and the damp exhale of the Thames. Arthur Blackwood stood at the attic window of his fat...
He was twenty-three years old, sixth son of Edward Blackwood, textile magnate and pillar of the Manchester civic establishment. Sixth sons, in the Blackwood family hierarchy, occupied a category slightly above the dog and slightly below the family secretary. Arthur knew this. He had known it since childhood, when his brothers were dispatched to Eton and he was given a box of mechanical parts...
