The House of Whispering PagesChapter One Oakhaven smelled like wet wood and forgotten things. It was a plantation house built in 1848, perched on a bluff above the Bayou Teche like a crow sitting on a branch. The wood was gray and warped. The ironwork was rusted into shapes that might have been flowers if you squinted. The roof sagged in the middle like a tired back. The Beauregard family had lived here for six...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 ReviewsPlease log in to like, share and comment!

The-Silver-Eye-of-RustThe Last Quest The long-range sensors detected nothing, which was itself a kind of detection. Captain Elara Voss stood at the observation deck of the vessel Odyssey, staring into the void that lay beyond the galactic rim. Beyond the rim, the universe thinned out. Stars became sparse—like trees in a desert. Between the stars, the darkness was absolute. No nebulae, no radiation, no cosmic...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Alpha's EyeSilverback smelled them before he saw them.Human scent—sweat and soap and something sharp and chemical, like the metal cans the Two-Legs threw on the ground. It came from the south, carried on the wind through the pines. He lifted his head, ears forward, nose working. Two humans. Maybe three. Small one.He turned and moved through the forest, silent as shadow. His left forepaw ached—the old...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

THE PHOTOGRAPHER AT GROUND ZEROACT I: THE SHUTTER (20%) The photograph appeared on page three of The Metropolitan Ledger, beneath the headlines about stock prices and the theatre season. It showed a soldier—Tommy couldn't tell you which side, and neither could anyone else—kneeling in the ruins of a building, holding a child. The child might have been three years old. The child might have been five. The soldier's face was...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

Twin SkiesThe画册 was found on a stand along the Seine by Pierre de Morelly on a damp afternoon in October 1896. It was not like any book he had ever seen. The cover was made of a material that felt neither like leather nor paper, but something in between—smooth and warm, as though it had a pulse beneath its surface. Pierre was twenty-eight years old, a painter of considerable talent and considerable...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

Sample V-01: The Price of Ascension(Victorian Melancholy) The fog of London in 1888 did not merely drift; it clung to the skin like a damp shroud, smelling of sulfur and desperation. Arthur lived in the marrow of the East End, a skeletal youth whose blood was a traitor, thinning with every passing winter. He spent his days scrubbing the floors of a curiosity shop in Spitalfields, a place where the dead were sold in porcelain...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Alchemist's TowerThe year was 1348, and the air of Florence tasted of ash and vinegar. The Black Death had turned the city into a charnel house, where the only thing more plentiful than corpses was the fear of God. Julian was a man of science in an age of superstition, an alchemist who had been branded a heretic for suggesting that the soul was not a ghost, but a complex arrangement of elements. In the depths...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden ExchangeThe ticker tape never stopped talking. That was the first thing Vincent Moretti learned on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange: the machine had opinions, and they came in the form of punched paper ribbons that fell like confetti from the ceiling of a cathedral built for a new god. He was nineteen, Irish-Italian from Hester Street, with ink on his fingers and a photographic memory that made...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

The Last SchoolhouseAct I: Rising It began with the silence of the postman, who did not come on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, and by Friday the children had begun to understand that something had entered the world which they could not name but could feel in their bones like the first cold breath of winter. Miss Eleanor Ashworth stood at the window of the schoolroom, her fingers pressed...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

The Decay of the Southern EstateThe humidity of the Louisiana bayou did not just linger; it consumed. It seeped into the velvet curtains of the Blackwood Manor, turning them into heavy, moldering rags that smelled of river silt and forgotten sins. Elias, the last steward of the estate, moved through the corridors with a slow, rhythmic limp, his presence as faded as the wallpaper peeling from the walls. He was a man of silence...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

Bloom of the CypressThe heat in St. Tammany Parish in August doesn't just sit on you—it presses. It's a physical weight, the kind that makes you feel your own body more acutely than you'd like, every breath a negotiation with the air. Belle DuBois knew this better than most. At twenty-three, she had already learned to read weather the way other women read faces: as something that would tell her, eventually, what...0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews

The Ivory DecayThe court of the Archduke was a place of pale gold and dying lilies. It was a world of whispered secrets and slow dances, where the air smelled of old incense and hidden rot. Julian was the Archduke's most trusted advisor, a man of exquisite taste and terrifying efficiency. He was the weaver of the court's intrigues, the one who decided who would rise and who would be forgotten. His power was...0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews
