The Body That Would Not Keep HerThe first time Rachel tried to leave, it was a Tuesday in December. She had been married to Frank for two months. The snow was falling outside the white walls of the townhouse in the subdivision, covering the white with more white, erasing the world until there was nothing left but the house and the snow and the silence. She packed a bag. Not a big bag. A small one, the kind you take for a...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 AnteprimaEffettua l'accesso per mettere mi piace, condividere e commentare!

The Elixir of the RingDr. Henry Blackwood first encountered the Ring in the winter of 1891, when a young woman was admitted to his asylum in Dublin with a complaint that would define the rest of his career. Her name was listed as Mary O'Connor on the intake forms, but she told Henry her name was the Girl from Eridani, and that she had seen the Ring. What Ring? he asked, sitting across from her in the asylum's common...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

The Last OrbitThe void was not empty; it was a heavy, suffocating presence that pressed against the thin titanium hulls of the escape pods. Pod A and Pod B drifted in a slow, eternal dance, separated by only ten meters of vacuum—a distance that might as well have been a billion light-years. Inside Pod A was Julian. Inside Pod B was Clara. They had been lovers once, in a world of green forests and blue...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

THE GLASS ALGORITHMI Jack Marlowe did not believe in fate. He believed in evidence. Evidence was something you could hold in your hand, something you could examine under a lamp, something you could follow from point A to point B without having to believe in anything you couldn't see. But the Glass Algorithm was making him reconsider. His latest client was a woman named Elena Vasquez. She was twenty-eight, wearing...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

The Patient from BelowThe voice started on a Tuesday, in the basement of Dr. Edward Blackwood's clinic in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Eddie was fifteen, brilliant and troubled in equal measure, and he had spent the last three years sitting on his father's examination table while his father examined other people's minds. His father was sitting in his armchair, conducting what should have been a routine session...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

The Parasite's PriceDetroit was not a city; it was a carcass, and the wind that howled through the ruins of the automotive plants sounded like a long, slow expiration. For Leo Vance, the ruins were the only place where he felt at home. He was a "gutter-crawler," a man who made a living by scavenging rare minerals from the decaying circuitry of the old world. He was a non-entity, a smudge of grey in a city of...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

The-Gene-Engine-of-ManhattanThe basement laboratory in Harlem smelled of old chemicals and older dreams. It occupied the lowest level of a brownstone on 125th Street, a space that had once served as a wine cellar before the building's owner abandoned the idea of catering to wealthy clients who didn't want to live above a jazz club. Julian Ashworth sat cross-legged on the concrete floor, the Genesis Engine's control panel...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

The Iron Cauldron of Blackmoor HallI The mist over the Yorkshire moors did not lift in May. It clung to the broken stones of Blackmoor Hall like a shroud, seeping through the cracks in the leaded windows and settling into the bones of those unfortunate enough to dwell within its walls. Edgar Blackmoor, seventeen years old and already accustomed to the taste of ash, sat on the edge of a narrow iron bed and stared at his hands....0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 4 Views 0 Anteprima

THE PATIENT FROM BELOWDr. Arthur Voss could not remember how he had arrived at the hospital. This was not, strictly speaking, true. He remembered driving through Vienna on a February evening in 1896, the gas lamps casting amber pools on the wet cobblestones, the carriages bouncing over puddles that reflected the windows of the cafés where men sat drinking brandy and talking about the future of the Balkans. He...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 10 Views 0 Anteprima

The Shadow of the GuardianMy brother, Julian, used to smell of old books and peppermint. He was the kind of man who would apologize to a spider before moving it outside. When our father died and left us with a bankrupt estate and a house full of grieving women—our mother and two aunts—Julian became our anchor. He was the only man left to hold the fragments of our lives together. But the neighborhood we lived in, a...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 6 Views 0 Anteprima

The City of SilenceThe office was a cathedral of glass and steel, perched so high above New York that the people below looked like ants scurrying through a concrete labyrinth. Marcus stood at the center of the room, his reflection mirrored in a dozen different surfaces. He wore a suit that cost more than most people earned in a decade, and his eyes were as cold as the diamonds on his cufflinks. He had won. The...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 5 Views 0 Anteprima

The man on my floor had blueprints in his coat pocket and a bullet in his chest. I didn't kill him. Or at least, I hoped I hadn't. Sometimes in this business, by the time you know you've killed somebody, you've already forgotten you pulled the trigger.I was sitting at my desk drinking whiskey that tasted like gasoline and trying to ignore the rain when the doorbell didn't ring. It never does when somebody important is on the other side. They just open the door with a key they shouldn't have and walk in like they own the place. This man didn't have a key. He had a knife in his ribs and a look on his face that said he was sorry but not sorry...0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 9 Views 0 Anteprima
