The Building on West 73rd
The apartment on Central Park West was the kind of place that looked perfect from the outside and hollow from within. Sixty-fourth floor, floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors that echoed when you walked. Catherine Whitmore had spent two years curating this space—the Italian furniture, the abstract paintings, the collection of crystal vases that held no flowers because flowers required...

Sample V-01: The Silent Harvest
(Victorian Melancholy) The mist clung to the rolling hills of Derbyshire like a shroud, dampening the spirits of all who dwelled within the valley. Arthur, a man of few words and a heart weathered by the toil of the earth, walked through his fields of wheat. The crop was golden, a rare triumph in a year of biting frosts. It was the only thing he had left—his land, and the memory of the laughter...

The bottle was empty. That was the first problem. The rain was the second. It had been falling on Chicago for three days straight, and Jack Kowalski was tired of watching it from a third-floor walk-up that smelled like wet wool and regret.
Mary, the receptionist at his agency, had called him in. "Someone's waiting for you," she'd said. "Tall guy. Expensive suit. Looks like he pays cash." Jack had looked in the mirror. Thirty-five, Polish face, eyes like broken glass. He didn't look like anyone who paid cash. The man in the expensive suit was sitting in Jack's office when he arrived. He introduced himself as Tony Moretti. Big...

Heartbeat in the Deep Void
HEARTBEAT IN THE DEEP VOID A Sci-Fi Gothic Transformation Designer Lin Yoyo stood on the observation deck of Genesis Habitat Station Alpha, watching the distant star of Centauri burn through six centimeters of reinforced transparisteel. Below her, the station unfolded like a mechanical flower: rotating rings of living quarters, hydroponic gardens glowing green in the artificial sunlight,...

Sample V-03: The Concrete Mercy
(Style B1: New York Realism) Martha lived in the spaces between things. She lived in the cardboard corridors of a Brooklyn alleyway, her world defined by the smell of roasting coffee and the roar of the Q train. She was a ghost in a city of eight million, invisible to the suits and the tourists, a woman whose existence was measured in the number of cans she could collect in a day. Then came the...

Sample V-09: The Spectral Contract
The city is a concrete jungle, and I was the monkey. I'd had too many drinks, too many bad decisions, and not nearly enough luck to make it out alive without a few jagged scars to remember the ride. I tripped over some ash in a dead-end alley, a place where the light of the moon never quite reached, and suddenly I had a roommate who didn't pay rent, didn't breathe, and had a very specific,...

The Guardian's Lie
The bayou of Louisiana is a place where the line between water and land, between truth and myth, is perpetually blurred. In the village of Marais, the "Great Coil" was a legend that kept the children inside after dark. It was said that the Serpent protected the village from the "Things in the Mist"—nightmarish entities that haunted the deeper swamps. Ruby was a girl of salt and fire, a rebel...

The Patient from Below
Dr. Evelyn Blackwood had been treating soldiers for fourteen months when she began to suspect that the war was happening inside their heads. The facility was a converted country estate outside New Carthage, all white corridors and padded rooms and the faint smell of carbolic and iodine. It housed the military's most difficult cases: men and women who had been brought back from the front lines...

FOG CITY CON
London in 1890 was a city of layers, each one hiding the sins of the one beneath. At the top, in Mayfair and Belgravia, the aristocrats dined on peacock tongues and discussed the Empire's business. Below them, in Clerkenwell and Shoreditch, the working classes labored sixteen hours a day for wages that wouldn't buy a gentleman's gloves. And at the bottom, in the rookeries and the docks, there...

The Church Bell at Midnight
The Church Bell at Midnight The magnolia tree in front of Beauregard Manor had been blooming for three hundred years, or so the family legend went. Evelyn Beauregard Mercer did not know whether to believe the legend or to recognize that the tree was simply old and stubborn, the way everything in Jackson, Mississippi, was old and stubborn, holding on to the past with roots that went deeper than...

The Final Curtain of the Void
The town of Oubliette was a place where time had stopped. The grand opera house, once the jewel of the province, was now a skeleton of gilded wood and rotting velvet, haunted by the ghosts of a thousand ovations. Isabella was the last inhabitant of the house. She lived in the dressing rooms, her life a cycle of rehearsing for an audience that would never return. She sang the old arias with a...

The TheEmpathyMicrobe
The Empathy Microbe Act I — The Discovery The fungus grew in purple, like a bruise blooming across the agar plate. Dr. Eleanor Chen stood over her microscope in the corner room of Ma's boarding house on 138th Street, her left eye pressed to the ocular lens, her right hand sketching furiously in a leather-bound notebook that had outlived three different owners and now belonged to her by virtue...
