The Starlight CorridorACT 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...0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

Clara was a restoration artist, spending her days breathing life back into faded canvases, but her nights were spent in the company of a ghost....0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews

The House on Blackwater BayouThe house sat on the edge of Blackwater Bayou like a woman who had inherited a fortune she did not want and could not refuse. It was large -- not mansion-large, but plantation-large, the kind of size that implied generations of people living under the same roof, eating at the same table, sharing the same secrets. The cypress trees surrounded it the way guards surround a king who has stopped...0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews

The Rust King(Act I: The Iron Grip) The town of Oakhaven did not breathe; it wheezed. The air was a thick soup of sulfur and oxidized iron, and the only thing that grew in the soil was resentment. Leo was a man of the assembly line, a cog in a machine that had stopped producing anything but misery. He lived in a trailer that smelled of damp cardboard and old grease, his days measured by the rhythmic thud of...0 Comments 0 Shares 16 Views 0 Reviews

The Light of Collective DawnPatrick O'Brien was nineteen when he found the books, and he was already tired of being tired in a way that had nothing to do with sleep. Brooklyn in 1923 was a city of cities — or at least it felt like that to Pat, walking home from the docks after a ten-hour shift carrying crates that weighed more than he did. The apartment on Willow Street smelled of boiled cabbage and his mother's lavender...0 Comments 0 Shares 48 Views 0 Reviews

The Berlin Protocol## Act I: The Outset Berlin in 1961 was a city of concrete and paranoia, a place where the wind carried the scent of ozone and betrayal. Leo lived in a small apartment in the Wedding district, his walls covered in maps and encrypted telegrams. He was a "Ghost"—a double agent who had spent five years playing the Soviets and the Americans against each other. He was a master of the lapped-over...0 Comments 0 Shares 50 Views 0 Reviews

The Gilded Cage of Fog(Act I: The Ascent) The fog of London in 1890 did not merely drift; it possessed the city, a grey shroud that blurred the line between the cobblestones and the sky. Arthur stood at the threshold of the Black Raven Society, his boots worn thin, his coat a patchwork of desperation. He was a ghost in his own city, a man of no name and fewer means. But inside his mind, he carried a map of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 69 Views 0 Reviews

The Weight of a Pebble(Act I: The Grey Shift) Sam lived in the town of Oakhaven, where the only thing more consistent than the rain was the sound of the factory whistle. For twenty years, he had worked in the stamping plant, his life a loop of grey concrete and metallic noise. He was a man of habits: the same coffee, the same route to work, the same silence at dinner. He didn't want power; he just wanted the noise...0 Comments 0 Shares 28 Views 0 Reviews
