The Black StrainDorothy Wayne walked into my office like she was walking onto a movie set, which she was, in a way. The rain was coming down hard on the windows of my building on Sunset Boulevard, and the blinds were casting stripes of light and shadow across the desk, across her coat, across the face she had spent ten years learning how to sell to an audience that no longer cared. "Help me with something,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 14 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Magnolia and the FloodTell it again. Tell it the way it was, or the way it might have been, which in this country is the same thing, because the past here does not recede—it lies down in the mud and waits. Magnolia Duval was born in 1903, in the big house at Duval Landing, which sat on a bluff above the river and had been in the family since before the Louisiana Purchase, which was to say since before the land had...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 20 Visualizações 0 Anterior

Blood and MagnoliasThe magnolias were blooming along the old plantation road, their white petals heavy and sweet as sin. I walked past them with my hands in my pockets and the memory of gunfire in my ears, trying to convince myself that the sound I heard in my head was just the wind moving through the trees. It wasn't. It never was. Oakhaven was the kind of town that existed in the space between memory and rot....0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 49 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Starlight ProjectI. The numbers did not lie, and that was precisely the problem. Thomas Whitfield sat in his office at the Institute for Advanced Study, the spring light of 1924 falling across a desk strewn with calculation sheets, each one covered in the dense handwriting of a man who had not slept properly in weeks. The equations described something impossible: a gradual, unexplained increase in solar...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 52 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Silent Garden of Ashes## Act I: The Outset The mud of the Belgian frontier had a way of swallowing everything—boots, hope, and the occasional scream. Julian, a Lieutenant with a penchant for Keats and a gaze that seemed perpetually fixed on a horizon only he could see, stood amidst the ruins of a shattered hamlet. His white dress uniform was a scandalous anomaly in this grey wasteland, a stark, fragile beacon of a...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 65 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Dark Forest Files**Los Angeles, 1947** The rain hadn't stopped for three days. It hammered the window of my office on Sunset Boulevard like it was trying to get in, or maybe trying to keep whatever was inside from getting out. I was nursing a whiskey that tasted like it had been distilled in a garage, and waiting for a woman who probably wasn't going to show. She never does, I thought. That's why I'm the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 36 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Last PatientDr. Adrian Cross had spent seven years studying post-traumatic stress in veterans, and he was good at it. Too good, according to Dr. Elena Vasquez, his mentor and supervisor at the Vance Institute for Cognitive Research. "You're not treating them, Adrian," she told him after observing one of his sessions. "You're solving them. There's a difference." He did not listen. He was close to something....0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 44 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Rain of Silence## Act I: The Outset Los Angeles in 1947 was a city of neon lies and wet pavement. Elias sat in the back of a dimly lit diner, the smell of burnt coffee and cheap tobacco clinging to his clothes. He was a man of twenty-two with the eyes of a centenarian, a witness to a crime that the city's elite had spent six months trying to erase. He held a small, leather notebook in his shaking hands—the...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 31 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Starlight ArkI. The storm hit Manhattan on a Tuesday in October, which was wrong on two counts: first, hurricanes do not visit New York in October; second, the ones that do do not breach the Hudson River dam and drown Lower Manhattan in six feet of black water by midnight. I learned all this from the radio. I was in a warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront, water rising past my ankles, listening to a...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 56 Visualizações 0 Anterior
