The Astronomer of LondiniumI The black sphere sat on the workbench like a tear in the world, a darkness that absorbed candlelight rather than reflected it. Arthur Pendelton had possessed it for eleven months, twenty-three days, when the storm came. He had found it in the soil near Harran, Anatolia, during a geological survey funded by the Royal Geographical Society. The locals called it the eye of a fallen angel. Arthur,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 1 Visualizações 0 AnteriorFaça o login para curtir, compartilhar e comentar!

The Controlled FrequencyThe Controlled Frequency Act I — The Spark Unit 7-Kael worked in Department of Signal Integrity, Subsection 4, which was responsible for monitoring and classifying all non-concordat transmissions within the Sol system.

THE ANTHEM OF LOST MINDSTHE ANTHEM OF LOST MINDSA Collection of Twelve Short StoriesI. THE LAST STARLIGHTProfessor Alistair Finch spent forty-seven years building the Great Lens.It began as a madman's dream, whispered at Royal Society dinner parties over sherry and silence.

Testimony of the Two-Inch Pressure Valve at Sector 7I was installed on the morning of March 12, six years before the incident. The man who installed me wore blue overalls and had hands that smelled like machine oil. He tightened my housing with a torque wrench set to forty-seven foot-pounds. He checked the seal. He logged the installation in a terminal that was mounted on the wall of Sector 7, a terminal that hummed constantly and had a screen...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 6 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The apartment smelled like old pizza and old decisions and the particular kind of loneliness that comes from living somewhere for so long that the walls start to remember you.Dave Murphy sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the wall. The wall was beige. It had been beige when he had moved in four years ago, and it was still beige, though the color had shifted slightly in the time between then and now, the way all colors shift when you stop looking at them directly and only notice them in your peripheral vision, the way a friend notices that you have changed only...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 8 Visualizações 0 Anterior

THE WIDOW OF OAKHAVENOakhaven Plantation, Louisiana, 1954 The house on Cypress Road looked like something that had been left behind by time—a white-columned antebellum mansion half-swallowed by Spanish moss and the kind of Southern humidity that made everything glisten with damp inevitability. The ironwork around the porch had rusted into abstract shapes that resembled vines more than the scrollwork they'd once...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 6 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Velvet Sepulcher(Gothic Romance) The Château de Valmont sat atop a jagged cliff in the French countryside, a skeletal monument to a lineage that had forgotten how to live. Julian, a disgraced scholar of the occult, had come to the estate not for the beauty of its architecture, but for the desperation of its mistress. Isabelle de Valmont was dying of a wasting disease that turned her skin to translucent...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 6 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Blind EyeChicago, 1947 The thing about Jack Morrisey was that he was the last person anyone in Chicago would suspect of knowing anything. He was thirty years old, five feet nine inches, slightly stooped, with eyes that had the glassy unfocused look of someone who was always looking at something slightly behind the world rather than in it. He worked at a slaughterhouse on the Southwest Side, cutting meat...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 10 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Water MonopolyThe rain in Queens didn't wash things clean; it just moved the grime from one alley to another. Marcus lived in the shadow of a rusted refinery, in a warehouse that smelled of old grease and ozone. He was an urban gardener, a man who grew kale and heirloom tomatoes in hydroponic tubs, fighting a losing battle against the smog of New York City. He found the map in a discarded corporate tablet, a...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 7 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Bureaucracy of ViolenceArthur was a man of absolute precision. He could dismantle a Glock 17 in four seconds and could neutralize a target with a single strike to the carotid artery. He was a living weapon, a master of the "Art of the End." But in the 42nd floor of the Sterling Tower, Arthur was simply "Employee #882," a junior analyst in the Department of Risk Mitigation. His life was a loop of beige cubicles,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 2 Visualizações 0 Anterior

The Rot of Magnolia HouseI. The cotton was dead. That was the first thing Eli Whitaker noticed when the bus deposited him at the crossroads: the cotton fields stretched in every direction, white bolls long since picked and ginned and sold, leaving behind only brown stalks that cracked underfoot like old bones. The air was thick with humidity that had nothing to do with warmth—it was the humidity of decay, of things...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4 Visualizações 0 Anterior
