The Range That Was Two Ranges at Once
The green Garland range at The Brass Bell existed in two states simultaneously. It was a gas range, a simple appliance of iron and brass that had been cooking food since 1926. And it was a vessel, a container for the preserved brain of Danny Mercer, a chef who had died in a grease fire in Detroit. Both states were true. Both states were false. The range was neither and both, and the kitchen...

The Signal at Harlan House
ACT I The piano sounded like a heartbeat that had learned to lie. Eli Johnson sat at the upright in the corner of The Sapphire Lounge and played something that was almost a blues but was really a question. He was asking the room if it believed in things that couldn't be touched, and the room was answering in the only way it knew how: with gin on its breath, cigarette smoke in its lungs, and...

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...

The Burnished Promise
Edward Ashworth's fingers knew the shape of every gear before his eyes did. It was a gift, or a curse, born of thirty-two years pressing brass against brass until the metal surrendered its secrets. The workshop beneath his Bloomsbury townhouse contained three hundred and fourteen partially assembled mechanisms, each one a small argument about time, precision, and the human desire to measure the...

The Last Guardians
The meteorite had fallen in Kansas in 1919, and for five years no one had been able to convince Evelyn Harper to look at it. She was a geneticist at Columbia, one of three women on a faculty of two hundred, and she had better things to do than examine a rock from space. But the rock had been examining her, in a manner of speaking. It had been speaking to her through the spectral analysis,...

The Ember at the Edge of Darkness
The boat broke down three miles off the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, and Jack Morrell bailed water with a coffee cup until the island appeared out of the fog like a dark tooth in a black mouth. He dragged the boat onto a beach of black sand and black rock and black everything, and walked inland until he found the shanty. The man inside was sitting on an upturned crate, cleaning a revolver...

The Plague Doctor's Bargain
The fog rolled in off the Thames that October, thick and yellow as old wool, pressing against the windows of the tenement on Golden Square like something alive. Inside, Edward Morstan sat in the corner of his single room, polishing the beak of his mask with a rag soaked in vinegar. The mask was new—well, two weeks new. He had had it custom-made by a cooper who owed him a favor, the kind of...

THE SIGNAL FROM LILY BRENNAN
The office was on State Street, third floor of a building that smelled of boiled cabbage and old plumbing and the faint, sweet-sour smell of whiskey that seeped up from the bar downstairs. It was a small office—just a desk, a chair, a filing cabinet that stuck when you pulled the second drawer, and a window that looked out over a brick wall so close I could touch it if I leaned far enough out...

The Face in the Mirror
I am Dr. Edith Murray. I am a doctor of medicine. I graduated from Edinburgh University with distinction in neurology. I specialize in the treatment of hysteria and related conditions in women. I do not believe in souls. I do not believe in spirits. I do not believe in anything that cannot be measured, weighed, photographed, or described in language that a man can understand without needing a...

The Architect's Hubris
The wind howled across the Scottish Highlands, a mournous sound that seemed to echo the secrets buried beneath the peat. My observatory sat on the edge of a jagged cliff, a spire of iron and glass that looked like a needle trying to stitch the earth to the sky. I, Dr. Alistair, had spent forty years mapping the geography of the soul. I believed that consciousness was not a mystery, but a...

THE LAST LIGHT OF NEW CARTHAGE
I found Grandfather's diary in the cellar on a Tuesday in October, 1872. The house was cold—the coal fire had been banked too early, as it always is when one lives alone—and the smell of damp stone and forgotten things rose to meet me as I descended the narrow stairs with a candle in my hand. There, behind a stack of water-stained furniture covers, in a tin box whose lock had rusted solid, was...

The Portrait Behind the Wall
The Portrait Behind the Wall The cloth was black velvet, thick with dust, and it had not been lifted in perhaps fifteen years. Arthur found it on his third day at Wycherley Hall, when he wandered too far down the east corridor and discovered a door that should have been locked. It was not locked. The key had been left in the lock, rusted halfway through turning, as though someone had given up...
