The Observer's Garden
The first sign was the headache. It came on during the salon, while Comte de Montclair was debating the nature of beauty with a fellow poet named Valmont. One moment he was speaking; the next, the room seemed to expand, the chandeliers rising like stars into a distant ceiling. He thought it was the wine. He ordered more wine. By morning, his reflection in the mirror was wrong. He was smaller....

The Star Beacon of Montparnasse
The signal arrived on a Wednesday in November, 1923, and by Friday everyone in the astronomy community was arguing about it and nobody was certain what they were arguing about. Jack Callahan didn't care about the astronomy community. He was an American expat living in a garret on Rue de la Gaité, writing for the Chicago Tribune's Paris bureau about cabaret singers and failed painters, and...

Oxygen-and-Rust
Oxygen and Rust I. The fracture was invisible to the station's automated sensors, but Rosa Delgado felt it through the soles of her magnetic boots. It was a vibration, subtle but persistent, like a tooth waiting to crack. She floated in the void outside Station Kestrel, forty feet from the nearest airlock, welding a micro-fracture in the hull that no one else knew existed. 0.4 gravity made...

The Signal in the Stars
The champagne in my glass had gone warm, but I drank it anyway because the alternative was to stand in this room any longer and listen to men who had never lost a battle discuss the art of losing. They were all friends of my father, men in their fifties with silver hair and silver teeth and silver tongues, and they had come to Wall Street to make fortunes the way my father had, by buying low...

The Last Anaconda
ACT I New York in 1923 smelled of jazz and gasoline and the particular kind of optimism that comes from having survived a war and decided that whatever comes next will be better. Dr. Vivian Serpentis did not share this optimism. She smelled the city and thought primarily of air quality and the complete absence of any habitat suitable for large reptiles. Her laboratory at Columbia was a small,...

The Glass Farm
The soil was black. Not the rich, dark loam of spring planting season, but the dead, greasy black of something that had been poisoned from within. Arthur Blackwood knelt beside it and let it run through his fingers like ground pepper. It had been three years since he returned to Blackwood Hall, and three years of watching the land die. The bank had given him ninety days. The letter sat on his...

The Applause of the Abyss
Paris in 1899 was a city of beautiful decay. It was a place where the air tasted of absinthe and old lace, where the salons were filled with poets who worshipped the moon and painters who painted the shadows of their own souls. Julian was the prince of this decadent court, a man whose brilliance was matched only by his capacity for self-destruction. Julian called himself the "Archivist of the...

The Algorithm of Collapse
The Algorithm of Collapse Ethan Cross did not expect to change the world. He expected to make eighteen dollars an hour and pay his rent. He worked at Meridian Capital, a mid-sized hedge fund on East Forty-second Street in Manhattan. His office was on the fourteenth floor, a glass box that overlooked the city. From his desk, he could see the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and a...

The Weekend Tyrant
I. The free bookstore was in a church basement on the south side, and it was run by a woman named Martha who looked like she had been made out of leftover parts—too thin, too tall, with a face that had forgotten what it was supposed to do but kept forgetting anyway. She handed me a book without looking at me, the way you hand a cigarette to someone you've seen before but don't know....

THE HOLLOW MERIDIAN
ACT I: THE LOCKED ROOM (20%) The rifle was too heavy for Corinne to lift. It was an old thing—World War I era, maybe older, with a walnut stock worn smooth by a hundred hands and a barrel that had seen more use than any weapon should. It sat on a shelf in the Thorne family library, behind glass, and every person who had entered that room since 1919 had left with the same instruction from...

The System Inside
The first letter arrived on a Tuesday in March. Dr. James Whitfield found it on the doormat of the cottage he rented in Trevose, a small stone building perched on the cliffs above the Atlantic, where the wind came off the water cold enough to make your teeth ache even in spring. The letter was thick cream paper, handwritten in a precise hand that James recognized immediately because it was his...

The Pale Eye
The Gaslight DoorThe iron door clicked shut behind him, and Arthur Pendelton stood in the reading room's blue darkness. Gas lamps burned on every table — thirteen of them, counting the one by the window — but he had turned them all down before he crossed the threshold. The Museum was not supposed to be open after eight. He was not supposed to be here. He was nineteen years old and possessed of...
