The Abbey of ShadowsEx fumine carnis. From the flame of flesh. The air hung over the abbey like a shroud of wet linen, heavy with the scent of cypress rot and the buzzing of insects that had no names in any language spoken by white men, insects that had been here before the French, before the Spanish, before the Africans were dragged in chains across the water, and insects that would remain long after the abbey...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 2 Ansichten 0 BewertungenBitte loggen Sie sich ein, um liken, teilen und zu kommentieren!

The Degrees Between Salt and RegretThe first compromise was so small that Helena did not notice it. She was thirty-four years old, the head chef of a restaurant that had been written up in a national magazine, and she had just received the monthly financial report from her business partner, a man named Victor who handled the money so that she did not have to. "The lobster supplier we've been using," Victor said, handing her a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 5 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Tuesday MourningTom Ashworth died on the coal chute staircase. It was not dramatic. There was no dramatic gasp, no grasping at the air, no final vision of a life unspent. There was only the familiar heaviness in his chest, the taste of copper on his tongue, and the slow, creeping certainty that his lungs were filling with something that was not air. He slid down the wooden steps, one at a time, until his back...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 11 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The saxophone played in a key that didn't exist on any piano. It was a blue note bent so far flat it became purple, and it hung in the smoke-filled room like a question nobody wanted to answer.His name was Little Charlie, but nobody called him that anymore. They called him Charlie, or Chaz, or just "man" when they needed something and didn't want to use a name. Names were heavy things in the Micro Age. Heavy and inconvenient. I landed the Sky Angel on a rooftop in what used to be Long Island and walked into a party that had been going on for two thousand five hundred years. Well, not...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 6 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Patient from BelowACT I: THE SIGNAL Dr. Vivian Marsh first noticed the pattern on a Tuesday night, during the kind of shift that makes you question every life decision that led to you standing in a hospital corridor at 2 AM holding a cup of cold coffee. She was a third-year neurosurgery resident at Massachusetts General—twenty-nine years old, first generation college, the only person in her family who had ever...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 4 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Human SymbolThe wallpaper in Arthur's room was a pale, sickly yellow, peeling away in long strips like dead skin. Outside the window, the smokestacks of the Oakhaven mills pumped a steady stream of charcoal grey into the sky, a permanent ceiling for a town that had forgotten how to dream. Arthur sat in his wheelchair, his legs two useless pillars of flesh. He was twenty-four, but his eyes belonged to a man...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 5 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 2 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 4 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Invisible War## Act 1: The Spark The *Sovereign* descended through a sky the color of a bruised plum, landing in the heart of a dead world. Captain Julian Thorne, the last sentinel of a scorched species, stepped out into a landscape of charcoal plains and frozen oceans. For thirty years, he had been the ghost in a machine, returning to a home that the sun had cauterized. He expected a graveyard; he found a...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 16 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Patient from BelowPart I: The Lock Henri Leclerc was thirty-three years old, the youngest mathematics professor at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, and in the spring of 1893 he was on the verge of a discovery that would have changed the course of mathematics. He had been working on hypergeometric functions—specifically, on a class of functions that extended the concept of infinity to higher dimensions. In...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 14 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Jazz That Knew Too Much1 Autumn in 1925 did not arrive gently on Long Island. It came like a thief, slipping in through the fog that rolled off the Atlantic and settling over the manicured lawns and white-columned estates like a shroud. Charles Daniels stood on the deck of the ferry, gripping the rail as the vessel pitched through choppy waters. His stomach turned. He hated boats. He hated most things, actually,...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 4 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Fire in the DarkThe rain had been falling on New York for three days straight, a steady drumming against the windows of the Herald Building that Tommy O'Brien had come to think of as the city's heartbeat. On the fourth morning, he stood at his desk with a cup of coffee gone cold and a stack of clippings spread before him like the pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit. The factory fire had killed fourteen...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 16 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
