The Last Library of London
Arthur stood in the center of the Great Library, the air thick with the scent of old parchment and the oppressive weight of a thousand inevitable ends. To the world, he was a relic of a fading aristocracy, a man of quiet habits and impeccable tailoring. But behind his pale eyes lay the Curse of the Finality—the ability to see the exact moment of a soul's departure. He had first seen it in the...

Three Versions of Ethan Mercer
Version One: The Docent. Ethan Mercer was twenty-six years old and had been a docent at the Metropolitan Museum for three years. He knew every corridor and every painting and every crack in the plaster, and he had learned that the best way to guide visitors through the museum was to tell them not what to see but how to see it. The old man who appeared in Gallery 297 on a Tuesday morning did not...

The Space Between Departure and Arrival
Frank Kowalski stood on the shore of Lake Michigan and thought about his wife. The lake was the color of iron and the wind was cold and the sky was the kind of gray that Chicago produces in October when it wants to remind you that summer was a gift and gifts do not last. He had been standing there for an hour, watching the waves break against the rocks, and he had been thinking about the...

The Gilded Microcosm
The Earth was a dead thing, and Dr. Harrison Cole had come home to a graveyard. He watched it fill his viewport—the black rock where continents had once sprawled, the white ice where oceans had once teemed with life. The Sun had shed five percent of its mass in a brief, terrible flash, cooking the planet to four thousand degrees before plunging it back into cold. Civilization became memory....

The Keeper of Candles
Agnes of Whitmore did not see the dead bodies being carried past her door, but she heard them. In the winter of 1348, the dead were carried every day. Sometimes twice a day. The sound was distinctive: the shuffle of bare feet on frozen dirt, the creak of a rough wooden board being borne on shoulders, the muffled voice of a priest who no longer believed in the words he was saying. Agnes heard...

THE MOUNTAIN GOSPEL
ACT ONE: THE EXPLOSION The chapel leaked when it rained, which was often, which was essentially always, because the roof was tin and the tin was old and the screws holding it to the rafters had surrendered to rust years ago, one by one, in the slow surrenders that mountains specialize in. Reverend Silas Greenwood stood at the altar -- which was a door laid across two milk crates, because the...

The Golden Exchange
The ticker tape never stopped talking. That was the first thing Vincent Moretti learned on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange: the machine had opinions, and they came in the form of punched paper ribbons that fell like confetti from the ceiling of a cathedral built for a new god. He was nineteen, Irish-Italian from Hester Street, with ink on his fingers and a photographic memory that made...

The Twilight of the Last Bastion
The world was a graveyard of gods. The Great Collapse had left the continents as shattered archipelagos of floating stone, drifting in a sea of cosmic ash. In the furthest reaches of the periphery, the 'Half-Kin'—a race of chimeric outcasts, half-human and half-beast—survived in the shadow of the World-Tree's rotting roots. Kaelen was not born to the Half-Kin, but he was forged by them. A...

Sample V-05: The Salt Statues
(Style: Gothic Horror) The city of Oakhaven is a gallery of frozen screams. The end did not come with a bang or a flash. It came as a slow, shimmering tide of transparency. First, the adults lost their voices, their words turning into crystalline bubbles that popped in the air. Then, their colors faded—the blue of a dress, the brown of a suit—bleaching into a pale, translucent white. Finally,...

The Quiet Rain
The Quiet Rain The observatory sat on top of a hill in Montana. The hill was not tall—maybe two thousand feet above sea level—but it was tall enough that you could see the horizon in every direction. On a clear night, you could see the curvature of the earth. Arthur Pemberton could see it, anyway. He knew the curvature by memory. He had counted the stars above Montana for forty years and he...

The Patient from Below
The voice started on a Tuesday, in the basement of Dr. Edward Blackwood's clinic in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Eddie was fifteen, brilliant and troubled in equal measure, and he had spent the last three years sitting on his father's examination table while his father examined other people's minds. His father was sitting in his armchair, conducting what should have been a routine session...

ACT I
The Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...
