The man in the gray suitThe rain was falling on Los Angeles the way it always fell—hard, indifferent, with the kind of persistence that suggested the city was being punished for something it couldn't remember doing. Thomas Gray watched it from the window of his office on Sunset Boulevard, drinking coffee from a paper cup that had gone cold twenty minutes ago. His office was exactly what you would expect from a private...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 2 Ansichten 0 BewertungenBitte loggen Sie sich ein, um liken, teilen und zu kommentieren!

Title: The Crimson Ritual(Act I: The Spark) The Castle of Valerius clung to the jagged cliffs of the Carpathian peaks like a parasite on a dying beast. For centuries, it had been the refuge of the 'Exiled'—a lineage of scholars, artists, and mystics cast out from the courts of Europe for their 'deviant' curiosities. By 1890, the Exiled were a fading shadow, their library a collection of rotting vellum and their...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 2 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

"You won't go," he said, not opening his eyes. "You'll stay. You'll teach at theEleanor read the letter again. Mr. Pemberton, steward of the Ashworth estate: "Your family's debt to the Ashworth concern is, to put it plainly, unpayable. My employer, Mr. Percival Ashworth, has agreed to a proposal that would settle the matter entirely, provided you comply with one condition." The condition was this: Eleanor would travel to London and serve as Mr. Ashworth's "companion" for...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 2 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Variant 09The city of New York in the 1940s was a place of loud triumphs and silent tragedies. For Julian Thorne, the noise was a mask. He was a man of singular focus, a disgraced former professor of ethics who now spent his days as a ghostwriter for the city's mediocre politicians. He lived in a small, book-filled apartment in Greenwich Village, where the only thing more constant than the rain was his...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 2 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

THE LAST ARCThe telegraph wires were singing at midnight. Not a metaphor. Lieutenant Isabella Cole heard it with her own ears—a high, keening whine that ran down the line of copper cable from the field station to the generators three hundred meters away. It was the sound of electricity escaping its pipes, of a thing that should have been contained breaking free. She pressed her headset to her ears. Static....0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 7 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Neon ConstellationsThe Neon Constellations ACT I The first time she realized she was living someone else's fantasy, she was standing in a fitting room on Madison Avenue, trying on a dress her boyfriend had picked out. The mirror showed a girl who was beautiful but wrong—beautiful in the way a photocopy is beautiful, clear but not the original. "Try the navy one," he said from the couch, his eyes on a magazine....0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

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 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Cold MetalEarl Madsen checked the oxygen recycler. It was making that noise again—the one that sounded like a cat trying to cough up a hairball. He'd been meaning to fix it for three cycles. He'd been meaning to fix a lot of things for three cycles. The Ship didn't care. The Ship kept running. That was its job. Earl's job was to make sure it kept running. Same job for twenty-seven years. He ate his...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 12 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

THE QUIET ENDFrank O'Malley woke at six in the morning. It was not an alarm clock that woke him. It was the habit of waking at six, established twelve years ago in a base camp in the Ho Chi Minh Trail and never broken, even after he broke everything else. He lay in the dark. The apartment was small—one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen that was really just a corner with a stove and a refrigerator the size of...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

ACT IThe Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 12 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

What the Files Did Not RecordThe fire started in the basement at 2:47 in the morning. By the time the first truck arrived, the building was a shell. The Los Angeles County Records Annex was not supposed to contain anything important. It was a repository for duplicates and overflow and documents that the county was legally required to keep but did not know what to do with—old tax assessments, expired building permits, the...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 13 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Patient from BelowThe voice started on a Tuesday, in the basement of Dr. Edward Blackwood's clinic in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Eddie was fifteen, brilliant and troubled in equal measure, and he had spent the last three years sitting on his father's examination table while his father examined other people's minds. His father was sitting in his armchair, conducting what should have been a routine session...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 3 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
