The House on Cypress RoadCaleb Harlow returned to Oakhaven, Mississippi, because the house was dying and he was the only one who knew how to read its symptoms. He had been gone twenty years, working as a bookkeeper in Atlanta, sending money home on the first of every month, pretending that the red clay roads and the cypress swamp and the house that leaned slightly to the east like an old woman squinting at the horizon...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 6 Views 0 previzualizare

Title: The Paradox of PowerThe Blackwood Estate was a monument to decay. Its grey stone walls were choked by ivy that looked like skeletal fingers, and the air in the library always smelled of damp parchment and old secrets. Clarence sat amidst the ruins of his family's glory, surrounded by leather-bound ledgers that traced a century of failure. Clarence was a man of patterns. He didn't believe in fate; he believed in...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 8 Views 0 previzualizare

The Observer's EndAct I The handwriting was his. He knew it immediately—not because he recognized the words, but because he recognized the angle of the 't' cross and the way the 'i' was dotted with a heavy hand, like he had been thinking about something else while writing. The words were on the inside cover of a textbook he had been shelving at the library. Introduction to Neural Cognition, third edition,...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 15 Views 0 previzualizare

The Galvanized SoulThe year was 1892, and London was a city of soot and electricity. In the basement of a derelict townhouse in Spitalfields, I, Dr. Sterling, had constructed a sanctuary of brass, copper, and humming capacitors. My peers at the Royal Society called my theories "borderline occultism," but they lacked the courage to stare into the abyss of the biological machine. I did not believe in ghosts; I...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 32 Views 0 previzualizare

Billy Harrow stood at the corner of Market and Fourth at six in the morning, the way he had been standing at that corner for eleven months and twenty-three days.The wind came off the Ohio River cold and wet, the kind of cold that gets through your jacket and your shirt and your skin and finds the bone and stays there. Billy pulled his jacket tighter and watched trucks roll past, their headlights cutting through the grey pre-dawn light like knives through wet paper. He had three dollars and forty-seven cents in his pocket. His driver's license had...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 12 Views 0 previzualizare

The Manhattan ContractThe Manhattan Contract I The bar was called The Grey Horse and it lived up to its name. Grey paint, grey walls, grey men drinking grey beer through the hole in the ceiling where the water pipe had burst three months ago and nobody had fixed. Vera Delaney had chosen it for exactly this reason: it was the last place any of the Four would think to look for her. She was sitting in the back booth...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 11 Views 0 previzualizare

The Fitzgerald ContractThe Fitzgerald Contract I The bookstore on Broadway smelled of old paper and new ink, and Clara Fitzgerald was hiding from four men in the poetry section because that was the kind of clever desperation only a Fitzgerald could produce. She had been running for three years. Three years of dodging dinners, of "not being in town," of convincing her father's personal assistant that she was at Vassar...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 14 Views 0 previzualizare

The Borderland EchoThe town of Kessel was a scar on the edge of the map, a place where three different nations met and none of them truly cared. It was 1938, and the air was thick with the smell of diesel and the electricity of impending war. I was Hans, a youth caught between the dying embers of an old world and the violent birth of a new one. I had loved Greta. Our love was a fragile thing, a secret garden we...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 32 Views 0 previzualizare
