The Dust Between UsThe sign said Phoenix and the temperature said one hundred and fifteen. Kate Calloway sat in the bus station with her bag on her lap and waited for the bus that would take her to the border. She had been waiting for forty minutes. The bus was late. It was always late. Her鉴定 shop on East McDowell had been empty for three weeks. The landlord had left a note on the door that said "lease...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 AnteprimaEffettua l'accesso per mettere mi piace, condividere e commentare!

The Widow's TollOrchard Street in 1904 was a place where seventeen languages were spoken and only two were written in the city's official records. Isaac Goldstein knew this because he had walked this street every day for eighteen months, watching the people pass between the tenements and the factories, and he had learned to listen not just to what they said but to what they carried.He sat on a folding chair...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 9 Views 0 Anteprima

The Grave-Kneeler of MagnoliaThe heat in Mississippi didn't just sit on you—it pressed down, heavy and wet and suffocating, like the sky itself had decided to sit on your chest and keep you there until you stopped breathing. Silas McGuire had learned to breathe around it, the way you learned to breathe around pain, around loss, around the things that didn't have names but had weight all the same. He was twenty-six years...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 9 Views 0 Anteprima

THE MIRROR OF WHITE FOXDr. Edmund Ashworth woke at dawn with a Roman coin pressed against his palm. He did not remember acquiring it. He did not remember waking. The only thing he remembered was the journal—his own handwriting filling pages he had no recollection of writing, describing souls he had never met, places he had never been, in a voice that was not entirely his own. The coin was Augustan, perhaps first...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

Three Versions of Claire WinslowVersion one was the woman who came to the clinic on Commonwealth Avenue at eight o'clock on a Tuesday morning in October, wearing a gray wool coat with a velvet collar, carrying a leather satchel that contained three notebooks, four fountain pens, and a copy of the most recent issue of the Atlantic Monthly in which her latest story had appeared. She was twenty-six years old, ambitious in the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 785 Views 0 Anteprima

Blood and the Two-Dimensional SkyAugust 17th, 1953 The heat in Mississippi does not merely sit upon you like a heavy blanket. It moves. It has weight and purpose and a kind of terrible patience that I have come to understand in the same way I understand the slow decay of this house and the slower decay of the people who used to live in it. I am Bell Thorne, last of my line, and I have been living in the old Thorne plantation...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 2 Views 0 Anteprima

The equation was beautiful, and it was wrong, and that was the problem.Thomas Callahan stood before the blackboard in his apartment, the chalk dust on his fingers like snow that would never melt. The board was covered in equations—hundreds of them, stacked from floor to ceiling, each one a step toward an answer that kept moving further away. He had been working on this for three months. Or maybe three years. Time had become difficult to track since the calculation...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 17 Views 0 Anteprima

The Load-Bearing SkyThe night shift at the Walmart on Route 35 in Mansfield, Ohio starts at eleven and ends at seven, which means Tom Huggins sleeps from eight in the morning until nine at night, eats dinner at six, and spends the hours between midnight and dawn in a hangar that is slowly being eaten by rust. The hangar is on the edge of town, past the abandoned strip mall and the closed-down gas station and the...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 16 Views 0 Anteprima

The Patient from BelowDr. Evelyn Blackwood had been treating soldiers for fourteen months when she began to suspect that the war was happening inside their heads. The facility was a converted country estate outside New Carthage, all white corridors and padded rooms and the faint smell of carbolic and iodine. It housed the military's most difficult cases: men and women who had been brought back from the front lines...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

Sample V-09: The Absurdity of ScaleMax was the most powerful being in the known universe, and he was profoundly bored. He lived in a palace made of collapsed stars, and he could move entire galaxies with a flick of his wrist. He knew the position of every atom in the cosmos and the exact second every sun would die. The problem with being a god is that everything becomes a rounding error. Max spent his eons trying to find...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 24 Views 0 Anteprima

The Patient from BelowChapter I: The Braking The letter arrived on a Friday, which in Vienna is the day when everyone pretends the weekend is going to save them from things they should have dealt with on Monday. It was typed on government stationery, in a font that was designed to look friendly but achieved only the effect of a smile that does not reach the eyes. The letter informed me that the Weiss Institute for...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 13 Views 0 Anteprima

The Victorian MechanismThe fog that November clung to London like a shroud, thick and yellow with coal smoke. Arthur Blackwood stood before his grandfather's desk in the Bloomsbury townhouse, running his fingers over the brass and mahogany contraption that had sat untouched for twenty years. The differential engine. Or at least, that was what the label read. But Arthur knew it was something more. His grandfather,...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 11 Views 0 Anteprima
