The Last Earthling
The call came on Wednesday morning. I was still in bed, still nursing the hangover from the previous night, when the phone rang. I let it ring twice before I picked it up. I do not like answering phones. Phones are promises of conversation, and I have never been good at conversation. This one was different. A man on the other end said his name was Richard Chen, and his sister, Dr. Margaret...

Sample V-04: The Witness of the Willow
(Southern Gothic) The wind in the Mississippi Delta does not merely blow; it remembers. It carries the scent of river mud, rotting jasmine, and the heavy, cloying weight of secrets that the soil refuses to swallow. I have stood in this place for a hundred years, my roots drinking from the dark, brackish water of the bayou, my branches weeping over the ruins of the Beauchamp estate. I am the...

The Furnace of Arthur Pemberton
The snow fell over Interlaken like a slow curtain, white and silent and absolute. Arthur Pemberton sat by the window of his small chalet and watched it fall, and he thought about engines. Not the steam engines of his factories in Manchester, those thundering brick cathedrals of iron and fire that had made his fortune. Not the ticklish brass clocks that lined the walls of his father's watchshop,...

The Midnight Press
I. Chicago in 1930 smelled like rain on hot asphalt and cheap gin and the faint metallic tang of the river. Jack Callahan stood on the corner of State Street with a bundle of newspapers under his arm and a feeling in his stomach that was not hunger. It was something older than hunger. It was the feeling of a man who had already lived this life and knew exactly where every door led. He was...

A Catalogue of Small Withdrawals
The first thing Karim Hashmi noticed, or rather the first thing he failed to notice until weeks later when he reconstructed the timeline from old emails and calendar entries, was the departmental dinner. He had attended the September welcome dinner every year since 1990, the year he arrived at the University of Michigan as a thirty-two-year-old assistant professor with a freshly minted PhD from...

The Cracked Vessel
The wheel turned beneath Arthur's hands, slow and steady, and the clay rose from the centre like a breath drawn from the earth. It was the kind of clay that had no business behaving as it did, this particular grey mass he had purchased from an old man at a crossroads market outside York, a man with eyes like wet stone who had told him only that it remembered being alive. Arthur had laughed...

The problem with optimism in 1924 was that it cost so little to practice. Samuel Goldstein stood ...
"Mr. Goldstein," Pat said. He did not offer his hand. Men who had been in prison did not offer their hands to anyone. "Patrick," Samuel replied. "Come. I have coffee." He had paid the bail. He had paid the lawyer—a young Jewish attorney named Rosenberg who believed in labor unions and bad whiskey. He had stood in the courtroom and watched Pat receive three months for conspiracy, a charge that...

The Glass Head of Blackwood Hall
I. The rain had been falling on Yorkshire for three days when Eileen Hartley arrived at Blackwood Hall. The carriage wheels sank into mud so deep the horses nearly stalled, and by the time the iron gates loomed through the mist, Eileen's fingers were white from gripping her mother's last shawl. Blackwood Hall was not a welcoming sight. The Victorian mansion rose from the moorland like a dark...

The Spectacle of Silence
Act 1: The Spark I lived in Apartment 4B of the O'Malley Building, a crumbling brick monolith in the Upper West Side that smelled of boiled cabbage and old dust. My life was a series of observations; I was a retired archivist with a penchant for the rhythms of others. My primary focus was Apartment 4C, occupied by Mr. Silas Thorne. Silas was a man of singular habits: he left for the library at...

Sample V-13: The Marriage of Shadows
(Southern Gothic Irony) In a town in Georgia where the humidity felt like a wet blanket and the churches were the only things that didn't rot, Silas lived in a house that smelled of mothballs and regret. He was visited by the ghost of his great-aunt Maude, a woman who had spent her life judging everyone in the county from the comfort of her rocking chair. Maude didn't believe in peace; she...

The Glass Ceiling
The office of Sterling & Cross was a cathedral of glass and chrome, designed to make the humans inside feel small and the capital they managed feel infinite. Elena sat at her desk on the 54th floor, the city of New York sprawling below her like a circuit board of ambition and greed. She was the most brilliant analyst in the firm, a woman who could spot a market anomaly in a thousand pages of...

V-06: The Bayou's Burden
(Southern Gothic) The Blackwater Academy didn't sit on land so much as it floated on a sea of rot. Deep in the Louisiana bayou, the school was a crumbling gothic manor where the air was thick with humidity and the scent of jasmine and decay. The students were the "Hollows"—children born with the traits of the swamp, skin like cypress bark and eyes like stagnant pools. Maya arrived in the heat...
