The Ritual of the Rust-Belt
The town of Oakhaven was a place where the only thing that grew was the rust on the abandoned steel mills. I, Gary, spent my days at a gas station that smelled of old grease and desperation, pumping fuel for people who were going nowhere. My life was a loop of grey mornings and neon nights, a flatline of existence that I had long ago stopped trying to fight. Then there was Sarah. She appeared...

The Minimalist
The MinimalistAct IThe grocery store was open at 11 PM because in Cleveland, nothing closes. Not even hope, apparently. It just runs on different hours.Kate Madsen stood in aisle seven holding the cheapest wine they carried and a bag of frozen dumplings that cost $2.49. She had been a journalist once—real journalism, bylines and deadlines and the kind of writing that made people think. Then the...

The Iron Wheel of London
It arrived at half-past three on a Tuesday in November, wrapped in oilcloth and sealed with wax the colour of dried blood. Arthur Pendleton found it on his workbench at the back of his father's curiosity shop on Fleet Street, where it had been left by a messenger who would not say his name, would not take payment, and vanished into the fog before Arthur could ask him which street he came from....

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...

Blood and Magnolias
I. The magnolias were blooming, which meant summer had arrived in a way that made the air so thick you could chew it. I stood on the porch of the main house and watched the flowers—white, perfect, obscene in their beauty—swaying in a breeze that smelled like damp earth and decay. I was twenty-eight years old, and I was the last Thorne who lived in the house that my great-great-grandfather had...

The Man Who Watched
I am Nick Delaney and I write about things nobody reads for a website called The Brooklyn Beat that gets four hundred visitors a month and pays me in exposure. I am thirty-four years old and I have been thirty-four for six years, which is the New York version of being stuck. The story about Marcus Rivera was supposed to be my breakthrough. A rising star from the Bronx, the article was going to...

The Albatross on Brooklyn Bridge
The bridge was empty at seven in the morning except for Daniel Reeves and the fog. The fog was thick enough to make the suspension cables disappear into gray, turning the Brooklyn side into a silhouette and the Manhattan skyline into a watercolor that was still wet and bleeding at the edges. Daniel was waiting for the light to change so he could cross to the train station. He had been commuting...

The Ashes of December
I. The water came at half past eight in the evening, though I could not know this at first. There was no clock in the culvert, only darkness and the slow, insistent pressure of something vast pushing against something small. I was wedged between a concrete wall and a fallen support beam, my right leg pinned beneath iron rebar that had buckled like taffy. The water was cold and tasted of salt...

The Observatory of Lost Stars
The telescope had not moved for three nights. Arthur Windsor pressed his eye to the brass eyepiece until the cold metal warmed against his skin, until the world beyond the glass became the only world that mattered. The signals had begun six weeks ago. At first he thought them instrument error—a vibration in the mounting, a flaw in the lens, the fatigue of a man who had spent too many hours...

The Last General
(Act I: The Iron Dawn) The Empire of Oros was a dying beast, its borders fraying and its heart rotten with decadence. Adrian was the only man who still remembered how to fight. A captain of the Guard, he had spent a decade on the frozen frontiers, where the wind howled like a wounded animal and the only law was survival. He didn't care for the court's intrigues; he cared for the men under his...

The House That Remembered
The Thorne estate sat on a hill in the Mississippi delta, surrounded by live oaks that looked like they were holding their breath. Bell Thorne was twenty-six and the last person with the deed, which was not the same thing as having the means to keep what the deed described. The house was falling apart. The roof leaked in seventeen places that Bell had marked with chalk X's on the ceiling of the...
