  • The Mercy of the Blade
    Julian arrived in the village of Oakhaven with a bag of surgical tools and a heart full of Enlightenment ideals. He was a man of science, and to him, the "Witch of the Woods," Elena, was not a supernatural threat, but a medical puzzle. Elena lived in a cottage that smelled of damp earth and dried herbs. She was a woman of haunting beauty, but her skin had a greyish tint, and her eyes shifted...

  • The Bloodroot Protocol
    I am not a Mendoza. This is the first thing I had to tell people when I moved out of the house on East Clinton Street, and it was also the last thing I needed to tell anyone. Rosa Mendoza is my mother. Not biologically—biologically I am Kyle Mendoza, white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, the product of a twenty-one-year-old college student whose name does not appear on my birth certificate and whose...

  • Sample-V-04: The Silent Observer
    The leather-bound notebook sat on Sarah's lap, its pages filled with a meticulous, almost obsessive record of the movements within the executive suite of Julian Thorne's empire. Sarah was the invisible gear in the machine—the private secretary whose primary function was to anticipate needs before they were spoken. She was the ghost in the room, the one who poured the coffee and organized the...

  • THE GLASS EYE OF GOD
    The laboratory smelled of ozone and old books and something else—something Silas could not name, something that lived just beyond the edges of language, in the space between one word and the next. Lucie Meyer stood in the doorway and felt it immediately: a pressure in her head, not pain but pressure, like the feeling you get on a mountain or in an elevator that drops too fast. The air in the...

  • Jazz and the Static: Dawn of Reason
    Narrative perspective: Deeply rhythmic, using the Jazz Age atmosphere as a primary narrative driver. New York, 1924. The city breathed jazz and exhaled cigarette smoke, and in the spaces between the notes, Thomas O'Connell was building something that might change the world or destroy it. Probably both. The Resonance Network existed on paper—a stack of blueprints spread across Thomas's desk in a...

  • The Memory of Lost Steps
    The music started at midnight, when the last customer had left the club and the band had packed up their instruments and gone home. Clara Mitchell sat alone at the piano, her fingers resting on the keys like a woman holding the hands of someone she loved and was about to lose. She played without thinking. The notes came from somewhere deep inside her—somewhere between memory and dream, between...

  • The Green Pastures
    The train from Paris arrived in Kansas at noon on a Tuesday in May, 1923. Thomas O'Brien stepped onto the platform with a single suitcase and a silver star pinned to his uniform jacket, which he had not removed in fourteen months. He was twenty-eight years old, and he had seen things in the trenches of France that he could not unsee and would never describe to anyone. He had come to Kansas...

  • The Ledger of a Dying House
    The estate of Valmont was a skeletal remain of a once-great dynasty, a sprawling gothic monstrosity of grey stone and weeping willows that seemed to drink the light from the Provençal sky. I have served the Valmonts for forty years, starting as a stable boy and ending as the sole custodian of their decline. I have seen the house breathe, I have seen it bleed, and I have seen it forget. My...

  • The Gilded Vow of Vengeance
    The Gilded Vow of Vengeance Part I The ballroom of Mayfair gleamed like a jewel box, all gilt mirrors and crystal chandeliers casting light in a thousand fractured pieces across the faces of London's elite. I stood at the edge of the crowd, my dark velvet dress swallowing what remained of my youthful glow, watching Lord Julian Blackwood across the room. He was everything the society papers...

  • The Weekend Tyrant
    I. The sandwich was cold. It always was by the time I got to eat it. I was sitting on a milk crate in the basement of the abandoned Packard plant, eating a ham sandwich that had been made three hours earlier, when a man in a beige suit sat down next to me and told me I was a hero. "I don't understand," I said. I was Ray O'Malley. I was thirty-four years old, unemployed for eleven months, and...

  • Part I: The Iron Crown of Blood
    The rain in Manchester did not wash things clean. It only made the grime slicker, turned the cobblestones into black mirrors that reflected nothing worth seeing. Arthur Blackwood stood in what had been his factory three months ago. Now it was a skeleton of iron beams and broken glass, the machinery sold off in lots to pay creditors. The men who had worked there for twenty years—men whose...

  • TITLE: The Neo-Noir Shadow - The Green Algae of Manhattan
    The city of Manhattan had always been a clockwork nightmare, but in the eyes of The Neo-Noir Shadow, it was something more. David Cohen, the man of margins and floor-plans, found himself staring at a world dissolving into emerald slime. Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum Lorum ipsum...
