Cold CoffeeMegan said the words on a Tuesday morning at seven o'clock, sitting at the kitchen table of their apartment in Capitol Hill, while Darren ate toast and the rain tapped against the window in a rhythm that was steady and unhurried and entirely indifferent to the fact that something was happening in the room that would, in retrospect, mark the beginning of the end or the beginning of something...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 0 Vue 0 AperçuConnectez-vous pour aimer, partager et commenter!

The Cocoon of Despair(V-01: Victorian Gothic) The rain in London did not fall; it seeped. It seeped into the brickwork of the Blackwood Sanitarium, into the heavy velvet curtains of the corridors, and into the very marrow of those confined within. Elias lived in Room 402, a space defined by padded walls and the rhythmic, suffocating tick of a clock he could not see. To the staff, Elias was a "catatonic void," a man...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 0 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Final Correction(V-14: Psychological Terror) The facility was a white cube, devoid of corners, devoid of shadows. Dr. Aris Thorne had spent forty years in the silence, chasing the "Omega Point"—the single, unifying equation that would explain the origin and purpose of the universe. He had found it. The equation was simple. It fit on a single line of a chalkboard. But as Aris stared at the symbols, he felt a...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

ACT IThe Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Thing About TuesdayThe water in Gray Valley tasted like metal. Billy knew this because he had been drinking it since he was born, and even though the adults were gone and the town had stopped treating it, the water still tasted the same—thin and metallic, with a hint of something that might have been rust or might have been nothing at all. Billy boiled it now. He always boiled it. The rule was simple: if you...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 1 Vue 0 Aperçu

The patient from belowDr. 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...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 3 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Silver Screen AffairThe letter arrived on a Thursday, delivered by a messenger who wore a tie so new it was still stiff and carried himself with the particular confidence of someone who had never been told no. Eleanor Fitzpatrick read it while sitting on the fire escape of her Brooklyn apartment, the June heat pressing down on her like a wet blanket. It was from Paramount. They wanted her in Hollywood. Not for a...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 5 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Mirror at BlackthorneThe rain in London does not fall so much as it accumulates, layer by attenuated layer, until the city is nothing more than a watercolor painting left out in a storm. Reginald Ashworth had lived through eleven London rains by November 1891, but this one was different—not in its intensity or its duration, but in the particular way it blurred the boundaries between the east and the west, making...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 4 Vue 0 Aperçu

Fire in the StoneThe spring of 1347 brought rain to the Pyrenees, and the rain brought with it the smell of wet stone and pine resin and something else—something faint and metallic that Brother Anselm could not name. The abbey stood on a ridge above the valley, a ruin of gray stone that had once been part of a great Benedictine monastery. The great buildings—the church, the cloister, the refectory—had collapsed...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 4 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Brass NavigatorChapter One: Steam Pressure The laboratory existed three stories beneath the surface of Dorset Street, where the London fog seeped through floorboards like a slow, grey tide. Arthur Blackwood preferred it underground. Upstairs, the city was all soot and noise and the relentless clatter of horse-drawn carriages on cobblestones. Down here, in the womb of the earth, there was only the whisper of...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 11 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Parasitic StarThe Blackwood Manor was a place where the fog didn't just surround the house; it lived within the walls. It was a Gothic monstrosity of grey stone and weeping ivy, located in a valley where the sun seemed to have given up a century ago. Julian was a student of the "Forbidden Sciences," a young man who believed that the boundary between life and death was merely a technical error. He had come to...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 15 Vue 0 Aperçu

The Cabbie's UniverseI. The meter was broken on my cab, always had been, since the time before the recession when I used to care about things like meters and regulations and whether or not a guy named O'Malley from the Taxi Commission was going to show up and tell me I was operating illegally. Now I didn't care. I just drove. Manhattan from dawn to dusk, picking up people who wanted to go places I didn't want to...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 10 Vue 0 Aperçu
