• Prescription for Loneliness
    Prescription for Loneliness ACT I: THE ATTACK The abandoned Studebaker plant on Detroit's east side hadn't produced a single car in twelve years, but Leo Mercer still walked past it every morning on his way to the corner store. He did it because his son Danny had worked there, and Leo believed that habit was a kind of prayer. At sixty-eight, Leo was small and wiry, the kind of man who looked...

  • The apartment smelled like money and loneliness, which is to say it smelled like nothing at all.
    Tommy Kowalski stood in the doorway of the Upper East Side apartment and tried not to look at anything. That was the first rule he'd learned: don't look at anything you can't afford.

  • The Archive of Loneliness
    The town of Oakhaven was a place where time didn't pass; it just accumulated, like the dust on the shelves of the public library. Arthur had been the librarian there for thirty years. He was a man of quiet habits and invisible presence, a human footnote in the history of a dying town. His only solace was the "Forbidden Section," a collection of rare, occult, and banned texts that the town...

  • The Pale Exile
    The Pale Exile The fog on the Thames did not so much descend as rise—surfacing from the river itself like the breath of something long dead, exhaled reluctantly into a London that had forgotten how to listen. Arthur Pendelton walked through it every morning the same way he had walked through the last seven years: head down, collar turned up, shoulders curved as though bracing for a blow that...
