The Rust Belt Apocalypse
Jack Miller didn't care about the sky. He cared about the oil change he had to do at four o'clock and the pump that was broken at the corner of Route 6 and Main and the bottle of whiskey in his locker that he was saving for Friday. The sky was the sky. It was blue in the morning and gray at night. Sometimes there were clouds. Sometimes there weren't. Jack didn't think about it. Boss Thompson...

Three Versions of Jack Moran
Version One: The Soldier The first version of Jack Moran was born in a rice paddy outside Inchon, in the winter of 1950, when the temperature dropped to twenty below and the Chinese divisions came pouring across the Yalu River like water through a broken dam. He had been a private then, twenty-two years old, with a photograph of a girl from San Diego in his breast pocket and a rifle that he had...

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...

The Last Bastion
The sky over the Last Bastion was a bruised purple, choked by the spores of the Hive. For fifty years, the same alien nightmare had consumed the Earth, leaving only a handful of subterranean cities connected by reinforced tunnels. Commander Vance was a man of iron and ash, a soldier who had forgotten the sound of a bird's song but remembered the exact weight of a pulse-rifle. Vance had not...

The Last Iteration (V-04)
The silence of the void was not empty; it was a heavy, pressurized thing that tasted of ozone and old copper. Julian sat on a throne of floating obsidian, watching the kaleidoscope of a thousand dying worlds spin beneath him. He was the Curator, the final sentinel of the Great Experiment. For eons, he had guided the "Seeds"—consciousnesses plucked from across the multiverse—through a series of...

The Double Life of Thomas Vance
Thomas Vance opened the bookshop at nine in the morning and he closed it at six in the evening and he did exactly the same thing every day for three years. He straightened the books. He wiped the counter. He drank tea from a cup that said World's Best Bookseller in letters that were chipped and fading. He watched the people walk past the window and he thought about nothing. This was exactly...

The Ticket and the Terrace
Clara Hayes arrived at the Kensington mansion on a fog-drenched December evening in 1887, the kind of fog that turned gas lamps into pale halos and made the cobblestones gleam like wet iron. She carried her instrument case—a violin, borrowed, with strings that had gone thin—and a small portfolio of sheet music. She had changed into her best dress, which was black wool patched at the elbows, and...

The coffee at the highway rest stop tastes like it was brewed in a grease trap. It's perfect.
I sat in a plastic chair that had been glued to the floor by decades of desperate travelers and drank it slowly, watching the interstate flow past like a river of steel and light. Trucks. Sedans. A semi with a dented trailer that said "FRED'S FISH & CHIPS" in letters that had peeled off one letter at a time until it just said "FRED'S FI." Three days. It had been three days since I ran. Three...

The Cage of Two Faces
The mirror in the Beaumont townhouse was the first thing Isabelle de Montclair noticed when she arrived on Rue de Varenne. It was a full-length piece, framed in curved Art Nouveau silver, and it showed her face with an accuracy that felt almost cruel. Twenty-five years old, pale, dark-haired, with eyes that held a question she had spent her entire life avoiding. She had come to Paris at the...

The Flood
I. The river was rising. This was not news. The river was always rising in May. But this year it was rising faster than usual, and the men at the weather station were using words like "fifty-year event" and "possibly higher," which is the kind of news that makes you check your insurance and then pretend you did not. My name is Dale Rutherford. I am forty-two years old. I drive a truck. I lived...

The Keeper of Blackwood Hall
ACT I: THE ASCENT The fog that clung to Blackwood Hall was not merely weather; it was a presence, a living thing that seeped through the cracks in the stone and settled in the bones of those who remained within its walls. Arthur Blackwood stood at the window of his study, watching the gas lamps flicker along the street below, their amber halos dissolving into the London smog like dying stars....

The Black Signal
ACT I: THE GIFT The rain in Los Angeles didn't wash things clean. It made everything worse, turning the grime of the city into a slick black paste that coated everything from the sidewalks to the inside of Jack Morretti's lungs. Jack had come home from the war in '46 with a head full of holes and a pocket full of nothing. Not the nothing of a man who had no money—the nothing of a man who had no...
