The-Manhattan-SilenceThe elevator stopped on the fourteenth floor and I walked out onto a hallway that smelled like floor wax and someone's attempt at lavender air freshener. Marcus Voss's apartment was at the end of the corridor, door number 14B, and I knew from experience that inside it would be exactly as untidy and as immaculate as you expected a corporate lawyer's apartment to be. I knocked twice. The kind of...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 16 Ansichten 0 BewertungenBitte loggen Sie sich ein, um liken, teilen und zu kommentieren!

Title: The Curator of Void(Act I: The Outset) New York is a city of curated identities, and I was the master of the gallery. I stood in the center of my latest exhibition, 'The Architecture of Absence,' watching the elite of the art world sip champagne and pretend to understand the void. Four years ago, I had been a discarded son, a footnote in the biography of a disgraced industrialist. I had spent those years in a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Hive Mind of East EndThe smog of 1850s London was a thick, yellow soup that tasted of coal and misery. Jack was a "mudlark," a scavenger who spent his days wading through the filth of the Thames, searching for scraps of metal or lost coins. He was a nobody, a ghost in the machinery of the Industrial Revolution. But Jack had found something in the mud—a small, obsidian sphere that pulsed with a faint, rhythmic...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 16 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The jazz of fading starsThe music was dying, and nobody wanted to admit it. Not in New York, where the music was everything. Not in Chicago, where the music was the only thing. And certainly not in Julian Ashford, who had spent the last five years composing jazz that made people dance because they were afraid of what would happen when the music stopped. It was 1925, and the city was drowning in its own prosperity....0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 8 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

ACT IDr. Julian Frost found his own biography in a Taiping archival document, written in 1854—twenty years before he was born. The discovery happened on a Tuesday, in the imperial archives of Tianjing, where Julian had spent the last three months cataloging rebel propaganda and religious texts for his forthcoming Oxford publication. He was thirty-two, a man of meticulous habits and rational...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 8 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Frequency of Evelyn MarchettiNovember 1924The bar had no sign. You found it by following the sound of a piano that played itself badly—because the player was too drunk to play well, which meant he was having fun.I found it on 43rd Street, down three flights of stairs, behind a door that opened only if you knocked in the pattern: two quick, one slow, one quick. I learned the pattern from a man named Tommy Rafferty, who...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 12 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Plague's WhisperThe village of Oubliette was a cluster of stone hovels clinging to a cliffside in the French Alps, a place where the wind sounded like a choir of the damned. In 1348, the wind brought more than cold; it brought the Black Death. Thomas, a young apothecary's apprentice, found himself the sole provider for his mother and two widowed sisters-in-law, as the village's men were either dead or had fled...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Clockwork SacrificeThe city of Ouroboros was a masterpiece of brass and steam, a vertical labyrinth of clicking gears and hissing pipes that stretched toward a soot-stained sky. At its heart lay the Great Engine, a colossal machine of impossible complexity that regulated the city's oxygen, heat, and gravity. For three centuries, the Engine had hummed a steady, comforting tune. But now, the tune was faltering....0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 12 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Crimson InheritanceThe Crimson Inheritance The letter arrived on a Tuesday in November, 1888, carried by a postman who looked as though he would rather have delivered a sentence to Newgate than knock on that particular door in Whitechapel. Edmund Ashworth opened it with trembling fingers in the gaslit kitchen of the boarding house on Dorset Street. Inside was a key—iron, heavy, covered in strange engravings—and a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 14 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

THE ETERNAL RESTThe call came at 2 AM, the kind of hour when bad news always arrives. Lieutenant James Gold rolled out of his bunk at the Illinois State Military Reserve headquarters, grabbed his coat, and listened to the telephone on the wall. "Gold here." "James, it's Morton. You need to come to my office. Now." General Morton Chase—retired, now president of Illinois State University, but still carrying...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Black SignalThe rain in Chicago doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the grime slicker. I sat in my car parked outside the abandoned warehouse on the South Side and watched the water run down the windshield wipers in thick grey streaks. The engine was off. The radio was off. The only sound was the rain and the occasional hiss of a bus braking two blocks away. I had been sitting here for forty...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 17 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Last OperatorHarlan Graves sat on the base of the radio telescope every night and listened to the wind. He was fifty-two years old and had not worked since the coal mine closed. He had been a miner for twenty-eight years, which meant he had spent more of his life underground than above it. When the mine closed, he emerged into a world that had no use for men who knew how to dig holes in the earth. The town...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
