The Physician of Blackwood HallI The rain had not ceased for seventeen days when Dr. Edmund Ashworth first heard the coughing begin inside the walls of Blackwood Hall. He had inherited the property three months prior from his uncle Silas, a man Edmund had never met but who, according to the solicitor's letter, had been "a physician of considerable renown in his day." The house itself was a monument to some forgotten...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views 0 voorbeeldPlease log in to like, share and comment!

The first time Shin noticed that Shadow existed, he was looking at himself in a VR reflection at 3 AM.

The Ashes of IcarusThe Ashes of Icarus The cicadas screamed in the heat, a sound like a thousand tiny saws cutting through wood. Silas Blackwood stood at the edge of the plantation, his boots sinking into the red clay, and watched the last oak tree sway in the wind. It was the only tree left on three hundred acres of dead earth, and even it was dying, its leaves turning brown at the edges, its branches sagging...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Starlight StorytellerThe smoke in that cellar room hung like a second ceiling, yellow and thick, and the brass trumpet player sweated through his vest while I stood on the bar telling them about the haints of Harlan County. My boots were still dusty from the Kentucky road, and I could feel the eyes of thirty or forty people on me, some laughing, some leaning forward with their gin glasses frozen halfway to their...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Observer at Five PointsI first met him in the basement of a church on Park Row, where the Five Points intersection spat its poorest onto the street and the church basement offered dry bread and a place to sit that was not wet. He was sitting alone at a scarred wooden table, studying a map of New York City as if it were a chessboard. He was perhaps thirty-five, dressed in clothes that were well-made but strange—the...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 5 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Inheritance ClauseIn the high-frequency world of Manhattan finance, everything is a derivative. Love is a hedge against loneliness; loyalty is a long-term investment with a variable return. Maximilian Thorne, the founder of Thorne Capital, lived his life by the numbers. He didn't believe in fate; he believed in probability. His son-in-law, Adrian, was a master of the "fine print." A lawyer by training and a...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 5 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Neon ConfessionIn the rain-slicked corridors of New Tokyo, where the sky was a permanent bruise of violet and charcoal, Elias Thorne lived in the gaps between data streams. He was a "ghost-weaver," a freelance forensic coder who specialized in retrieving fragmented memories from corrupted neural implants. He didn't work for the Megacorps; he worked for the desperate, the forgotten, and the dead. Elias's...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Woman in the CornerMaggie O'Sullivan had been working in New York houses for twenty-five years. She had cleaned up after senators and stockbrokers and socialites and immigrants who made more money in a week than Maggie earned in a year. She had seen every kind of madness money could buy, and she had learned the most important rule of her profession: never ask questions, never get involved, and never, ever believe...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 5 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Watcher at Bly ManorThe train from Manchester to Yorkshire left Clara Whitmore shivering on the platform, her single trunk clutched to her chest like a shield. The Harrington estate waited beyond the fog-wreathed hedgerows — a silhouette of turrets and gables against a sky the colour of old iron. She was twenty-two, the youngest daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, and this was her first position away from home. The...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 5 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Glass HorizonThe city of Neo-Kyoto was a forest of obsidian and light, where the rain fell in rhythmic pulses and the wind smelled of ozone and old ink. In the shadow of the Great Spire, where the corporate lords lived in floating gardens, Julian lived in the "Under-City," a labyrinth of neon alleys and steam-filled vents. He was a "Memory-Sculptor," a technician who could prune the traumas of the wealthy,...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 6 Views 0 voorbeeld

The Last Honor of AlistairThe castle of Blackwood stood on a cliff overlooking the grey Atlantic, its stones worn smooth by centuries of salt and wind. It was a place of echoing halls and faded tapestries, a monument to a nobility that had long since lost its purpose. Count Alistair, the last of the line, spent his days in the library, reading the journals of ancestors who had once led armies and shaped kingdoms....0 Reacties 0 aandelen 4 Views 0 voorbeeld

The FloodI. The river was rising. This was not news. The river was always rising in May. But this year it was rising faster than usual, and the men at the weather station were using words like "fifty-year event" and "possibly higher," which is the kind of news that makes you check your insurance and then pretend you did not. My name is Dale Rutherford. I am forty-two years old. I drive a truck. I lived...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 7 Views 0 voorbeeld
