The Plastic Coffin
The Plastic Coffin The winter of 1887 bit deep into the Yorkshire moors, and with it came the summons that would seal Arthur Blackwood's fate. He stood in the mill office where gaslight flickered behind frosted glass and the air smelled of coal smoke and damp wool. His father had died six months prior, leaving him the Blackwood textile empire—and the toxic legacy that came with it. The letter...

Redshift Blueshift
1925 — Ethel The gas lamps still burned on Whitechapel Road but the electric ones were coming, and Ethel could tell which buildings had been wired by the hum. She was nineteen years old and she had been working in the garment factory on Commercial Street since she was fourteen, and she could tell a hundred things by their hum: the treadle on a sewing machine that needed oil, the foreman's...

The Pressure of Empire and the Dissolution of Iron
In the year 1881, when the cough of steam engines drowned out the cries of street urchins on Water Street, Cornelius Ashworth stood at the window of his office on the twenty-third floor of the Ashworth Building — the tallest structure south of Forty-Second Street — and watched a tugboat battle the current of the East River. The tug was losing. It strained against the tide, its smokestack...

The Clockwork Parasite
The town of Oakhaven was a place of heavy humidity and heavier silence. It was a town where the houses leaned against each other like tired old men, and the air always smelled of damp earth and rusting iron. Silas lived in the tallest house, a jagged spire of brick and brass that looked like a needle stitching the grey sky to the brown earth. Silas was a man of gears and springs. He believed...

The Horn That Burned the South Side
Vincenzo DeLuca — called Vinny the Bolt because he could drive a truck through any blockade with the speed and precision of a steel fastener through wood — had built his empire on three principles. First: never trust a man who smiles too much. Second: keep your enemies closer than your friends, because friends will rob you slower. Third: everything in Chicago was a negotiation, and a...

The Dogs Next Door
I first noticed Sarah because of the dogs. Not one or two, but a whole bunch of them, maybe eight or ten, ranging from what looked like a terrier mix to something that might have been part wolf. They were always there, in her backyard, pacing the fence line like prisoners counting the days. I'm Frank. I live next door. I'm forty-five, I used to work at the steel plant before it closed, and I...

Sample V-04: The Alchemist's Debt
(Tragic Romance) Paris, 1793. The city was a cauldron of blood and iron. The guillotine sang its rhythmic song in the Place de la Révolution, and the air was thick with the scent of ozone and terror. Julien was a son of the Revolution, a man who believed that the old world had to be burned to the ground to make room for the new. But in the cellar of a ruined townhouse, he found a remnant of the...

The Weight of Looking
I am writing this in a basement in Paris, beneath a city that no longer has a sky. The sun is dying, they say. Or perhaps it is not. The truth, as always, is something that human beings have never been able to agree upon, and will never agree upon, because the truth is not a thing that exists outside of us—it is a thing that exists inside us, and inside each of us, it is different. I am a...

The Threshold of Small Yesses
Rebecca Ann Delacroix stood on the balcony of her Sherman Oaks apartment and watched the Los Angeles smog haze perform its daily phase transition from transparency to opacity, the Santa Monica Mountains dissolving into gray the way moral boundaries dissolve when crossed one inch at a time until the distance between where you started and where you are is greater than the distance you thought you...

The Scarred Hunter
The Thames ran black that morning, thick as tar and twice as foul. Thomas Graves woke where he always woke now—on the embankment near Southwark Bridge, his back against the cold stone, his left arm wrapped in linen that had gone from white to grey to something in between. He had injected himself four hours ago. A vial of cobra venom, black as ink, bought from an Indian clerk in Whitechapel who...

The Gilded Cage of Orbit
In the city of Celestia, the sun never sets. It is a floating masterpiece of gold and ivory, suspended five miles above the smog of New York by a network of anti-gravity spires. Here, the 'Luminous' live in a state of perpetual afternoon, sipping nectar from genetically modified orchids and discussing the philosophy of light. I live in the Filter. The Filter is the underside of Celestia, a...
