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 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 28 Views 0 previzualizare

The Night Shift at OakridgeThe coffee at Oakridge tastes like it was brewed in a radiator. I have been drinking it for eleven years, three months, and fourteen days, which is longer than I was married and longer than I worked at the plant before they shipped everything to Mexico. I don't complain about the coffee. I don't complain about much anymore. You learn what you can change and what you can't, and at my age, the...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 33 Views 0 previzualizare

The Keeper of the Hollow CrownThe fog that settled over Yorkshire in the autumn of 1873 did not merely obscure; it consumed. It swallowed the iron bridges, the brick chimneys, the cobblestone streets, and finally the great stone edifice of Ashworth Hall itself, reducing the world to a sphere of grey nothingness that pressed against the leaded windows like a living thing. Edward Ashworth stood at the window of his father's...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 68 Views 0 previzualizare

THE SALT SPRINGS REPORTThe order came through at 0600. Another town. Another mystery. Captain Shane Holt rolled out of the passenger seat of the Humvee and stared at Salt Springs. It wasn't really a town anymore. More like a collection of abandoned trailers and rusted oil pumps held together by dust and indifference. The New Mexico sky was the color of bruised metal. "Thirty-eight dead," Sergeant Kirk said from the...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 36 Views 0 previzualizare

The Rising WaterI. 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....0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 32 Views 0 previzualizare

The Velvet Crypt## Act I: The Outset The estate of Blackwood Manor sat on a cliff overlooking a churning, charcoal-colored sea. The house was a gothic nightmare of pointed arches, weeping gargoyles, and corridors that seemed to shift in the moonlight. Julian was the last of the Blackwood line, a frail youth with skin the color of parchment and eyes that seemed to see things others could not. He was a prodigy...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 40 Views 0 previzualizare

The Silent ArchiveOctober 12, 1942. Dearest Clara, I am writing this from a room that smells of damp limestone and old ink. They have moved me to the archives of the Ministry of Records. It is a vast, subterranean labyrinth where the history of our city is being systematically rewritten. My job is simple: I find the discrepancies between the old reports and the new directives, and I erase them. I am a ghost,...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 68 Views 0 previzualizare

The Raven on the DomeThe fog did not roll off the Thames so much as rise from it, like breath from a dying man's mouth. It clung to the streets of Whitechapel in thick yellow sheets, turning gaslights into halos and shadows into shapes that moved when they should not have moved. Arthur Penhaligon knew shadows. At twenty-four, he had spent three years holding lamps in the hospital morgue while the coroner cut open...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 18 Views 0 previzualizare

The ObserverNew York City, 2008 I got the call on a Tuesday, which is the kind of detail that would make a novelist proud but makes me want to laugh. There is nothing cinematic about the end of the world. It comes on a Tuesday, in a phone call, from a number you don't recognize. My name is Mark Delaney, and I am an associate professor of astrophysics at City College of New York. I am thirty-four years old,...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 28 Views 0 previzualizare
