The Chronicle of All Things
The plague came to York shire in the autumn of 1348, carried on the backs of fleas that rode rats that rode merchant ships that rode the river Ouse from Hull. Brother Anselm first noticed it in the sparrows—hundreds of them, lying dead in the abbey yard, their little bodies stiff and black in the November frost. He was thirty years old, a copyist and scholar at St. Mary's Abbey, one of the...

The Brass Somnium
(Style: Victorian Industrial) London, 1882. The city was a forest of chimneys and clockwork, but its true heart beat in the "Great Dream-Engine" beneath the Thames. The Engine processed the subconscious of the empire, turning the hopes of millions into a steady stream of industrial productivity. Arthur was a "Soot-Walker," a low-caste laborer whose only job was to climb into the brass pipes of...

THE MIRROR IN THE BASEMENT
ACT I: THE WINDOWLESS ROOM Lord Alistair Finch-Worthingham inherited Blackwood Park on a Tuesday in November, which seemed appropriate: Tuesdays were the kind of days on which serious things happened—inheritances, deaths, the slow realization that one's life has been a performance for an audience that stopped watching years ago. The house was exactly as one might expect a country house named...

Blood and Magnolias
I returned to Magnolia House in the rain. Not the gentle rain of spring or the warm rain of summer, but the kind of rain that comes in April and refuses to stop for three days, turning the red clay roads to soup and filling the cypress swamps until the water creeps up the porch steps and into the floorboards. Miles stood on the porch when I arrived, his right hand resting on the railing, his...

The Black Blueprint
The rain hadn't stopped in three days. It wasn't even a proper rain—more like a persistent drizzle that seeped into your bones and made you question every life choice that had led you to a city where the sky was permanently the color of a wet sidewalk. I was sitting in my office on Canal Street, watching water trace lazy paths down the windowpane, when the envelope appeared. No delivery boy. No...

The Starlight Ark
I. The storm hit Manhattan on a Tuesday in October, which was wrong on two counts: first, hurricanes do not visit New York in October; second, the ones that do do not breach the Hudson River dam and drown Lower Manhattan in six feet of black water by midnight. I learned all this from the radio. I was in a warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront, water rising past my ankles, listening to a...

The Observatory of Lost Souls
The red shift was not an anomaly. It was a death sentence. Dr. Alistair Blackwood sat before the great telescope on the Yorkshire coast, his eyes burning from three nights of continuous observation. The brass instruments gleamed in the lamplight, their polished surfaces reflecting the storm that raged outside. Wind howled across the moor like a thing in pain. Rain lashed the observatory windows...

The Keeper of Blackwood Hall
ACT I: THE ASCENT The fog that clung to Blackwood Hall was not merely weather; it was a presence, a living thing that seeped through the cracks in the stone and settled in the bones of those who remained within its walls. Arthur Blackwood stood at the window of his study, watching the gas lamps flicker along the street below, their amber halos dissolving into the London smog like dying stars....

The Plague of Blackwood Manor
I found the first one in the scullery. It was three days after Sir Sebastian returned from India, and the house was still settling into its old rhythms after the disruption of his absence. I had risen early, as was my custom, to inspect the kitchens before the cook came down. The gas lamps were still dim, casting long shadows across the flagstones, when I saw her—Martha, the kitchen maid—lying...

Neon Shadows
Los Angeles was a city of electric lies. Under the relentless glare of the neon signs, the truth was something that only existed in the shadows, and in the shadows, everything had a price. Victor Thorne had spent forty years building a kingdom of silence. As a retired titan of the city's underground trade, he knew where every body was buried and which judges were on his payroll. He lived in a...

The Quiet Heroism of Dust
(Noble Grim Variation) The settlement of Hope's End was a collection of rusted shipping containers and plastic tarps, clinging to the edge of a salt flat that stretched infinitely in every direction. There was no green here, no birds, only the relentless wind that carried the grit of a dead world into every pore of the skin. Silas was the settlement's water-gatherer. It was a thankless,...
