The mansion on blackwood hillThe 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...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 0 Ansichten 0 BewertungenBitte loggen Sie sich ein, um liken, teilen und zu kommentieren!

The Last ByzantineThe coffee in Nick's cup had gone cold, but he didn't notice. His fingers moved across the piano keys, finding chords that didn't belong to any Western scale—modes that had been sung in Constantinople's Hagia Sophia a thousand years ago, now filtered through the blues of a Greek immigrant's childhood. In the corner of his café, a small crowd had gathered. They were mostly young people—artists,...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 0 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Root of the CityGabriel arrived in New York in 1892, carrying nothing but a wooden trunk and a small book of poetry in his native tongue. He was one of thousands of Eastern European immigrants who had descended upon the Lower East Side, a place where the streets were so narrow that the laundry lines formed a canopy of white sheets over the cobblestones. For the first five years, Gabriel lived in a tenement...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 0 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Man Who Wrote HimselfThe first advertisement Richard Halloway ever wrote was for a product that did not exist. It was 1952, and he was twenty-six years old, and the agency had assigned him to a campaign for a new cigarette called "Vanguard" that was supposed to be healthier than other cigarettes because of a revolutionary new filter. The filter did not work. Richard knew this because he had read the internal memo...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Doppler Street1925 Rose Turner was twenty-two years old the first time she noticed the colour of her husband's handkerchief. It had been white when she pressed it into his pocket that morning — white and crisp and smelling faintly of the carbolic soap she used for everything, the floors and the dishes and Arthur's collars and her own hands until they cracked in the cold. When he came home at half past six...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

Sample V-13: The White Room(Minimalist Existentialism) The room was white. The walls were white, the floor was white, and the light that descended from the ceiling was a featureless, shadowless white. There were no clocks, no windows, and no sounds except for the low, rhythmic hum of the ventilation system. Alistair Lecter sat on a white plastic chair. He wore a white linen suit. He was the only point of contrast in a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Mirror at BlackthorneI. The accident happened on a wet road outside Edinburgh on a November evening in 1893, and the word "accident" is the first of many lies in this story. An accident implies that something was meant to happen and went wrong. What happened to Morwenna was not wrong. It went exactly right, in the sense that a fall from a height always goes right until it goes left, and when Morwenna's horse...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 4 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bayou HaloThe halo appeared on a Wednesday in May, nineteen hundred and fifty-four, and the first person to see it was a man named LeRoy Boudreaux who was fishing for crawfish in a backwater of the Atchafalaya Basin when he looked up and saw that the sky above the cypress trees had been bisected by a ring of cold silver light. He did not report it to anyone. LeRoy was fifty-two, had been fishing those...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Badger at the ParsonageThe Badger at the ParsonageThe storm did not arrive so much as it appeared, as if it had been standing just outside the perimeter of Blackwood Cove all along and had simply decided, on the evening of November 14th, 1888, to step inside.Reverend Silas West stood at the window of the parsonage and watched the wind throw rain against the glass with the kind of violence that suggested the sky had a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The gears turned with a sound like grinding teeth. Charles Whitmore watched the brass pistons rise and fall, each stroke driving steam through copper pipes that ran deep beneath the London earth. Athena was alive.The machine filled an entire subterranean chamber beneath Whitmore's townhouse in Bloomsbury. It rose three stories high, a cathedral of cogwheels and differential analyzers, each gear precisely cut to tolerances no other engineer in Europe could match. Charles had spent seven years building her. Seven years of sleepless nights, of borrowed money, of his wife Eleanor's gentle concerns growing...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 1 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Last MortalThe operation was called Eternity Extension. On the prescription bottle, in small print, it said "blue tincture." Everyone called it that anyway. The color was irrelevant—the compound was clear as water—but the name had stuck, like a superstition. I should not have done it. That much I know now. Two hundred years of hindsight is a cruel teacher. My name is Alexander Voss. In 2045, when I sat in...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
