The Ascendant
The Ascendant The steam in the basement laundry rose like fog, warm and chemical, carrying the smell of lye and burnt cotton. Patrick O'Sullivan stood at his station—Station 4, the pressing table—ironing shirts that would be returned to their owners by six o'clock the next morning, shirts that belonged to men who would wear them to offices on Broadway and never once think about the Irish boy...

The Blackwood Dynasty
The Blackwood Dynasty The oak tree on the bank of the Mississippi had been struck by lightning in 1893, and by 1950 it was half a tree and entirely a monument. Its upper branches were gone, its trunk was split down the middle like a mouth that had opened too wide and cracked, but the roots—those were still alive, white and thick and gripping the riverbed with the stubborn refusal to let go that...

The Devil's Ledger
The Devil's Ledger The rain in Los Angeles didn't fall so much as it materialized, as if the city had been sweating it out of its neon lights all day and night was finally the time to wring it out.

The Iron Throne
The Iron Throne The fog came off the Mersey like a living thing, thick and yellow, tasting of coal smoke and wet iron. It pressed against the windows of Spinner's Mill the way it always did in November of 1848, and inside that mill, at the age of twelve, Arthur Blackwood sat on a wooden stool between two rows of cotton-spinning machines and pulled broken threads with fingers that had already...

What Crawls in the Dust
What Crawls in the Dust The dust in Youngstown doesn't come from anywhere anymore. It was here before anyone lived here, when the land was just dirt and the river was just water and nobody had figured out what to do with either of them. Then the steel mills came, and the dust got mixed with iron particles, and for sixty years the air in Youngstown tasted like blood. When the mills closed, the...
