  • The Mirror of Rosevale
    The iron gates of Rosevale Manor closed with a finality that resonated through the frost-bitten valleys of Yorkshire. It was November 1887, and the air was a freezing lung of grey. Silas Winterburn stood on the gravel drive, his valise a heavy anchor in his hand, looking up at the manor that would be his final sanctuary. The house did not welcome him; it merely absorbed him. He had come for the...

  • The Gambler's Gaze
    Act 1: Setup Macau was a city of gold and desperation, where the air smelled of expensive perfume and cheap cigarettes. In the shadow of the towering casinos sat 'The Last Call', a dim-lit diner that served coffee as black as the souls of the gamblers who frequented it. Elias and Sarah were both low-level employees at the Grand Lisboa—he a dealer, she a cage cashier. They were the invisible...

  • V-04: The White Silence
    (Psychological Thriller) The Institute was a masterpiece of sterile architecture, a white concrete monolith perched on a jagged peak in the Swiss Alps. To the outside world, it was a sanctuary for "Gifted Youth." To Maya, who had just signed her contract, it felt like a morgue for the living. The students were the Outcasts—beings whose abilities were too volatile for society. They were kept in...

  • The Dawn of the New Continent
    The first week was the hardest. Not because of the deaths—though those were terrible enough—but because of the silence. Eleanor O'Brien had never noticed how much noise adults made until they were gone. The rumble of their voices, the clatter of their footsteps, the constant hum of their concerns. When it stopped, Chicago felt like a room that had been emptied of everything except furniture and...

  • The Crystal Lattice
    (Gothic Beauty) The rift had opened in the middle of the Atlantic, a shimmering tear in the fabric of the world that led to the Silent Dimension. Julian, a cartographer of the impossible, was the first to step through. He found himself in a city of glass. Not the glass of windows and mirrors, but a living, breathing lattice of iridescent crystals that stretched toward a violet sky. The...

  • The Dog at Midnight
    The rain in Los Angeles doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the dirt wetter. I know this because I've been walking these streets for thirty-five years, and the dirt has always been there, and it always will be. My name is Jack Callahan. I was thirty-five in January, which makes me old for a private detective and young for a man who has seen as much as I have seen. I served in the Navy...

  • The First Light
    I. They begin with clay. This is the first truth, the one that connects the man kneeling on the riverbank in Mesopotamia in the year five thousand before the birth of a religion that has not yet been born to the woman standing on a platform in the year three thousand after it, looking up at a nebula that is the direct descendant of a cloud of gas and dust that was, in some sense, the same...

  • The Edge of Prediction
    The speakeasy on West Eighty-First Street was called The Velvet Room, though there was nothing soft about the gin that flowed through it. Jack Morrisey sat in the corner booth with a glass of something that burned on the way down and did not help on the way up. It was November 1925, and the city around him was drunk on everything except the truth. He had been an agent of the Federal Bureau of...

  • The Playground Protocol
    What happened was simple and stupid. A virus. Nobody knows where it came from. It spread through the air, through water, through the surface of things. It killed everyone over 21. Not all of them—some people's immune systems were stronger, some were weaker. But most of them. All the teachers, all the parents, all the bosses and the cops and the doctors and the people who ran the gas stations...

  • The Bronze Curse
    The Bronze Curse ACT I: THE AWAKENING The candle sputtered as Eleanor pulled the rusted key from her apron pocket. The basement of Blackthorn Manor had not seen daylight since her grandmother's time, or perhaps longer. Dust lay thick as snow upon the flagstones, and something else: a scent she could not name, ancient and sweet, like flowers left too long upon a grave. The bronze object sat upon...

  • 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...

  • The Ashen Wreath
    I never asked for mercy, and I never got it. The world does not owe you your birthright—this my father learned, late in life, from a woman with half her face burned to black scar tissue. She was a seamstress in the poorer ward of Manchester, stitching bonnets for women whose husbands could not afford fresh faces. Her name was Eleanor Hartley, and she was the lowest of my father's...
