The Authentic Heart
ACT I: THE HOLLOW CIRCLE (The Opening Strike) The champagne was bootleg but excellent, the jazz was hot and sweating, and Daisy Whitmore was performing her eighth cocktail party that week. She moved through the crowd like a dancer who knew her steps by heart, flashing smiles that cost nothing and landed like investments. "Miss Whitmore, you simply must come to Long Beach for the weekend," said...

The Last Ascension
London, 1888. The fog pressed against the hospital windows like a living thing, thick and yellow with coal smoke and something older, something the nurses whispered about but never named. Dr. Edmund Blackwood stood at his desk in St. Bartholomew's, the lamplight catching the silver stethoscope at his neck. He was thirty-two, lean and sharp-boned, with hands that could suture a wound in...

Dark Matter - V5: The Listening Room (Literary Fiction / Contemporary Psychological)
ACT I: THE ROOM Emma Clarke had spent fifteen years learning how to listen. She was only now learning what listening had cost her. Her practice was in Notting Hill — three rooms on the second floor of a Victorian terrace that smelled perpetually of weak tea and furniture polish. The first room was for intake. The second was for people who needed to talk. The third was hers: a blue armchair, a...

Thomas Blackwood had not slept in two days.
The rain had been falling on Oxford since Michaelmas. It fell now on All Souls' College with the same indifferent persistence, as though the sky itself were a machine designed only for the purpose of wetting stone. Thomas Blackwood had not slept in two days. He sat in his chambers on the third floor of Blackstone Hall, the gaslight turned low, his lungs rattling in his chest like a sack of...

The Last Transmission from Manhattan
The jazz was terrible that night, which is to say it was magnificent. It spilled from the basement doors of the Velvet Cage like smoke from a dying fire, thick and golden and impossible to ignore. I stood on the sidewalk above, adjusting my collar against the January wind, and thought about how everything in New York was either too loud or too quiet, with no middle ground between them. My name...

The Hollow Plantation
The river knew before anyone else. It was a wide brown thing that moved slow and carried everything without comment—silt and leaves and the occasional dead cow and, in the spring after the Black Fever, something else that no one had words for yet. Cora Beauregard stood on the porch of Beauregard Manor and watched it move, and the river moved without comment, and between them they understood...

The House of Endless Twilight
The Devereux family had ruled the Cygnus Arm for three hundred years, and for three hundred years, they had been good. This was, as Lord Edmund Devereux was beginning to understand, the problem. He stood on the balcony of the family's ancestral station, *Ashworth Hall*, watching the holographic displays flicker with reports from the outer colonies. The numbers were not good. They had never been...

The Depth of Silence
The Depth of Silence ACT I The ocean at the bottom of the world is not dark. It is black, which is different. Dark is an absence. Black is a presence—a thick, complete, absolute presence that fills every space and allows nothing else to exist. I knew this on the third day we were at the bottom, when the pressure outside the hull was eight tons per square inch and the men who had volunteered for...

THE MIRROR IN THE BASEMENT
ACT I: THE WINDOWLESS ROOM Lord Alistair Finch-Worthingham inherited Blackwood Park on a Tuesday in November, which seemed appropriate: Tuesdays were the kind of days on which serious things happened—inheritances, deaths, the slow realization that one's life has been a performance for an audience that stopped watching years ago. The house was exactly as one might expect a country house named...

PROHIBITION BAIT
The Hudson River smelled of dead fish and diesel fuel, a stench that Jack Malone had grown so accustomed to that he no longer noticed it. He stood at the rail of the fishing trawler, watching the gray water slide past, and wondered how a man could drown in a river and still keep breathing. Three years ago, Jack had been somebody. Jack "The Net" Malone, they called him, the best bootlegger in...

THE SLEEPING PRINCESS
Dr. Victor Hartmann had built his reputation on understanding the mysteries of the mind. In the alpine sanatorium where he practiced, he treated the neurasthenic wives of industrialists, the melancholic sons of aristocrats, the religious maniacs and sexual hysterics who filled the waiting rooms of modern psychiatry. He had studied with Charcot in Paris, with Freud in Vienna, with Bleuler in...
