The Solitary Original
The silence of the Swiss Alps was not a peaceful thing; it was a heavy, sterile pressure that pushed against the eardrums. Inside the facility, the walls were a blinding, seamless white, illuminated by recessed LED strips that never flickered and never dimmed. Dr. Elias Thorne walked the corridors with a measured pace, his white lab coat snapping against his legs. He was the architect of the...

Shadows Over Baton Rouge
The bayou does not give up its dead. It keeps them. Curated. Arranged in the mud like flowers in a church pot. I got to the Beaumont plantation at dusk. The house had been standing since 1812. By 1937 it had been converted into something the state of Louisiana did not advertise. An asylum. The word sounded clean on paper. The building did not. Wyatt Beaumont was the last man standing of a line...

The Starlight Corridor
ACT I: THE AWAKENING The jazz poured from the speakeasy on Forty-second Street like water from a broken dam, and Thomas Callahan stood on the corner, listening to it the way a starving man listens to the smell of bread. He was twenty-four, Irish on his father's side, poor on both, and possessed of a mind that saw patterns where other men saw only chaos. Three years earlier, Thomas had arrived...

Ashen Wing
The truck sat in the Walmart parking lot like everything else in this town: abandoned but not yet dead. Tom Harlan sat behind the wheel at two in the morning, unable to sleep, unable to drink enough to try. The radio was off. The cabin was quiet except for the occasional groan of metal cooling in the cold Ohio air. He looked at the rusted fence separating the parking lot from the abandoned lot...

The Man Who Listened to the Stars
**Youngstown, Ohio** The garage smelled like motor oil and old beer. Frank Miller sat on a milk crate in the corner, listening to static through headphones that had a crack in the left earcup. The telescope was pointed at Cygnus. It always was. He'd been pointing it at Cygnus for seven years. Seven years of static. He took a drink from a beer can. The beer was warm. It always was. He didn't...

The Starlight Ambition
The bridge at Long Island groaned under the weight of steel and sweat, and Tommy O'Sullivan wiped his forehead with a sleeve that had been white three months ago and was now the colour of dust. Below him, the East River moved like a dark ribbon, indifferent to the men who were building something that would span it. "Keep those rivets hot, O'Sullivan!" the foreman shouted from the other side....

The Observer at Five Points
I first met him in the basement of a church on Park Row, where the Five Points intersection spat its poorest onto the street and the church basement offered dry bread and a place to sit that was not wet. He was sitting alone at a scarred wooden table, studying a map of New York City as if it were a chessboard. He was perhaps thirty-five, dressed in clothes that were well-made but strange—the...

The Rust Belt
The shipyard closed on a Tuesday in November. I was there that morning, like always, because habit is the last thing to leave a man when everything else has gone. The gates were already locked—padlock new, chain thick, the kind of lock that means they're not coming back. I stood in front of it for a while, breathing in the cold air that smelled like rust and old coal and something else I...

The Long Downpour
I. The rain had been falling for three days when the dam broke. Not a storm dam—a river dam. The Michigan River Levee, the one that kept the south side of Chicago from drowning every spring. It broke at two in the morning on a Thursday, and by morning, the south side was underwater. My name is Jack Morane. I am thirty-four years old. I am a private detective in Chicago. I wear an old trench...

The Rising Water
I. The water came to the Thorneland plantation on a Thursday in June, which was wrong because the river did not flood in June. The river flooded in April, when the snow melted in the Appalachians and turned the Mississippi into a brown beast that ate its banks. June was for heat and cicadas and the slow decay of things that were once grand. But the river had decided otherwise. I am Bell Thorne....

The Gilded Cage of Reason
The city of Aethelgard was a monument to the Enlightenment, a place where reason was the only currency and logic the only law. In Aethelgard, the "Academy of Pure Thought" governed every aspect of existence, from the architecture of the streets to the frequency of the citizens' heartbeats. To feel was to be inefficient; to love was to be irrational. Julian was the Academy's most celebrated...

The House of Maudreil
The road to Oakridge was the kind of road that Southern maps forgot to draw—narrow, unpaved, flanked by cypress trees whose knees rose from the swamp water like the knuckles of drowned men. I drove my rental car slowly, the air conditioning rattling like an old man's breathing, and watched the delta landscape unfold in shades of green and brown and the grey of approaching rain. I was...
