  • The Bayou Halo
    The 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...

  • The Badger at the Parsonage
    The 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...

  • The Last Mortal
    The 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...

  • The Echoes of Betrayal
    The air in the clinic smelled of ozone and sterile linen, a scent that Dr. Elias had come to associate with the architecture of the mind. He was a pioneer in mnemonic retrieval, a man who believed that the human subconscious was a library where no book was ever truly lost, only misfiled. For three years, Elias had been conducting the "Lazarus Project," an experimental therapy designed to...

  • The Building That Remembers
    The Building That Remembers ACT I The subway at eight in the morning was the same everywhere. New York was no different from Tokyo or London or any other city where people who hated each other were forced to stand very close together for twenty minutes. Mark Evans stood with his back against the door, one hand on the pole, one hand holding his phone, and tried to make himself small. His phone...

  • The Patient from Below
    Dr. 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...

  • The Silence of the Last Page
    The city of Verity was a masterpiece of order. Every citizen wore the same grey tunic, spoke in the same measured tone, and thought the same approved thoughts. The "Erasure" had been successful; history was a blank slate, and the future was a straight line of obedience. Elder K was the last glitch in the system. He was a man who remembered the "Before"—the time when books existed and when the...

  • The Hollow Republic
    The Hollow Republic ACT ONE: THE HURRICANE (20%) The hurricane came on a Tuesday in September, 1955, and when it was done, the Beaumont plantation looked like a painting that had been left out in the rain—the colors running, the edges blurring, the whole thing dissolving into something unrecognizable. Zeke Beaumont woke to the sound of water. Not rain—water, the kind that moves with weight...

  • The Alchemist of Ebony Manor
    I. The stone was warm. That was the first thing Edgar noticed when his fingers brushed against it in the darkness of the cellar. Not the cold dampness of the stone walls around him, not the chill that had seeped into his bones since he came down to check the wine supply. This was a warmth that pulsed, faint but steady, like a sleeping thing breathing beneath the earth. He struck a match. The...

  • The White Void
    The universe was a singular, blinding white. There were no stars, no planets, no horizons. There was only the Silence and the Observer. The Observer did not possess a name, for a name is a boundary, and the Observer had no boundaries. He was the supreme consciousness of the Void, the architect of a trillion simulated realities. With a single thought, he could conjure a galaxy of sapphire suns;...
