  • The Ghosts of Circle Eight
    Rain fell on the broken stones of St. Mark's Abbey as it had for three hundred years—not with purpose, but with the indifferent persistence of something that has forgotten why it continues. Thomas Marlowe stood in the nave and watched water accumulate in the hollows of the flagstones. He was thirteen when Father Anselm found him wandering the moor, barefoot and shaking, with nothing but a torn...

  • The Wall Street War
    The air in the boardroom of Sterling & Co. was filtered, chilled, and smelled faintly of ozone and expensive cologne. Marcus Sterling sat at the head of the mahogany table, his eyes fixed on the array of monitors displaying the real-time fluctuations of the S&P 500. He was thirty-eight, the most aggressive hedge fund manager in New York, a man who viewed the global economy not as a system of...

  • The patient from below
    Dr. Eleanor Hart had been coming to the Blackwood Institute for three weeks when she first heard the word transfiguration. The patient who said it was in Room 217—the highest security room on the fourth floor, where the walls were padded with beige fabric that had been stained by decades of fingerprints, heads thrown against them in moments of despair, and hands pressed flat in moments of...

  • THE NIGHT SCHOOL ON PIER 47
    ACT ONE: THE EXPLOSION The rain fell on New York like a debt collector -- persistent, impersonal, and absolutely convinced of its own right to be there. It fell on Pier 47, on the warehouses, on the cracked concrete where immigrants had learned to walk with the cautious optimism of people who had traded one kind of drowning for another. Frank Kovac stood in the doorway of Warehouse B and...

  • The mansion on blackwood hill
    The house had been dying for one hundred and fifty years, and Atticus Blackwood was its last physician. Or perhaps its last mourner. He was not sure which. Blackwood Manor stood on a hill above the Savannah River in South Carolina, a sprawling Victorian structure of faded white pillars and purple ivy that had grown over the cracks like a scar tissue trying to hold the building together. The...

  • Between the Dance and the Dissolution
    The space between two points is never empty. This is a fact of mathematics as much as it is a fact of life. Between zero and one lies an infinity of fractions. Between sanity and madness lies an infinity of states that have no names because no one has ever stayed in them long enough to describe them. Arthur Pendleton had been living in that space for seven years. He was not insane. He knew this...

    The observatory sat on a hill above Manhattan like a cathedral built for a god nobody believed in anymore. Dr. Marcus Webb had been coming here since he was a graduate student at Columbia, back when the building was new and the dome still turned on its gears without sticking. Now the gears were rusted, the dome stuck at an angle that pointed toward nothing in particular, and the only thing...

  • The dead physicist's apartment smelled like whiskey and chalk dust.
    Jack Morrell stood in the doorway, looking at the walls. They were covered in numbers. Not random numbers — patterns. Sequences. Coordinates. The dead man, Dr. Arthur Pemberton of Caltech, had been writing these on every surface he could find. The walls. The ceiling. The back of a photograph of a woman and two children. "Suicide," the coroner had said. "Clear case." Jack didn't believe in clear...

  • The corner of seventh
    The thing about Brooklyn is that nobody notices when it ends. Not because it ends loudly. Because it ends the way a neighborhood ends when the rent goes up too high and the bodega becomes a boutique and the bodega guy moves to Queens and the street where you grew up has a new name that nobody uses. Quietly. Systematically. Without anyone throwing a punch. Eliot Rosenberg lived on the corner of...

  • Sample V-14: The Zero-Dimension Dream
    (Style F: Psychological Thriller) It started with the colors. First, the reds vanished. Then the blues. By the end of the week, the world was a sketch in charcoal and ash. Julian didn't notice at first. He was too busy trying to remember his mother's face. He would close his eyes and try to conjure her image, but the edges were blurring. It wasn't that he was forgetting; it was that the...

  • The Fractal of Agony
    The facility was called 'The Prism.' It was a windowless cube of white polymer, floating in a void of absolute silence. There were no clocks, no windows, and no one to talk to. There was only the Voice, a neutral, synthesized tone that echoed through the vents, and the Pulse, a rhythmic vibration that signaled the transition between states. I am Subject 14. Or rather, I was. The experiment was...

  • 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...
