A black Corvette which is not what it seems ... wind turbines standing sentinel between worlds ... a tower crane with a beastly inhabitant ... these are tales of the machines we live--and sometimes die--by: machines which transport, that build our roads and bridges. Machines which operate in our hands and penetrate the clouds--which can take us to the edge of the universe and beyond. Machines which sometimes break down--go wrong--become inhabited....

"Ha! The flu. You should see 'em: pale and black-eyed as serpents, just lying there in the Rio Grande like zombies." She leaned toward him over the bar again and he caught a whiff of her fragrance, and there was a stirring in his groin he hadn't felt since, well, since he couldn't remember."What do you mean, like zombies?""I mean like zombies, like men who are dead but still walking, or lying there staring at the ceiling. See, something attacked us...

"Well, now we are getting somewhere," says Sula, glancing him up and down, appearing victorious. "But she was not a witch like me, else she would not have done what she did. For that is exactly what happened, isn't it? Jadis became infected by M24 and slew her own son, and your son too. And then you spent the next year and a half wandering a world you no longer recognized, a world where the dead were stacked on every street corner and the bonfires...

It was the first night of the Sacrificium, a night of sacrifice and death, a night when the black coins tendered in the Lottery would be tendered back. It was also the Hora Mille Semitis, the Hour of a Thousand paths-for that is the day the Sacrificium had fallen on this year-the hour when best friends might become enemies, when lovers of longstanding might betray oaths, the hour in which anything and everything was possible. And the alignment was...

Extreme Horror Tales from the Edge ... Minus the Boring Parts
And then he was sliding down, down, leveling off briefly, then down again, and he couldn't help but notice that the people he had planned to rule were fleeing now, and that the Nano-T had broken off its engagement with the tiger long enough to snap at them and give chase, and that in its absence the great feline had turned its mighty head to face the bottom of the slide and opened its...

First came the time-storm, which erased half the population. Then came the dinosaur apocalypse.How did it all begin? That depends on where you were and who you ask. In some places it started with the weather-which quickly became unstable and began behaving in impossible ways. In still others it started with the lights in the sky, which shifted and pulsed and could not be explained. Elsewhere it started with the disappearances: one here, a few there,...

In a land of wind and willows, two canoeists encounter some other-worldly wind turbines. From The Sentinels: Dunn: He said that he was taking the way of the wind and the sky, and that he was going in-to Them-by which I presume he meant going into the tower and scaling the ladder. And he said other things: That our thoughts made patterns in their world-left 'prints,' as it were-as did theirs in ours; and that that was how they'd found us, by listening...

"There's no footprints," said Tess, examining the ground. She looked up at him as though she felt suddenly ill. "Nothing leading away. Just ours and his walking to and from..." She paused, her lower lip trembling. "How is that possible, Coup? And not just him but-where is everybody else? Where are the other cars? How in..."
And then she just broke suddenly and rushed into...

Corbin snatched the rifle off his shoulder in a flash and everyone ducked-but he was pointing it at the ceiling, not the Chairman. "Shhh," he said, and cocked his head. "Just listen."
Charlotte did so, her ears still ringing. Slowly it became manifest: the sound of cavern raptors barking amidst the catacombs, barking and seeming to answer themselves, and something else, which answered them all. The Cat. The smilodon. The saber-toothed tiger which...

First there was the Flashback. Then came the Flashback Dawn. At last came the Flashback Twilight ...
They streamed out from the tree line in a veritable blitzkrieg, the guns of the tanks rotating and firing, the foot soldiers alternately taking cover behind vehicles and squeezing off bursts, the raptors and triceratops and stegosaurs charging-as Red and Charlotte and Roger and Savanna continued shooting and the children ran ammo and Bella lit the...

He'd stepped on the gas considerably-all that adrenaline from feuding with Tucker, I suppose-and no one noticed the buck standing in the middle of the road except me until-
"Jesus, look out!"
-until it struck the grill like an oncoming vehicle and tumbled up against the windshield, breaking it into a thousand spidery rings, and smearing it with blood as the truck careened wildly about the road and finally came to a rest in the ditch.
It didn't...

Red looked about the room, still disoriented. Spying it, he rushed toward it and snatched it up, even as Charlotte called, "Let's hurry it up, we've got company!"
Red handed Corbin the weapon and they exchanged uneasy glances. It was an exchange that set Red's hair on end, for the cop's eyes said one thing very clearly: I could leave you here right now, asshole. Because seconds count … and it might just come down to you or me.
Then he set his...

It is raining. That's the first thing I notice, the first thing that tells me I am no longer in the cockpit. The second is that I'm bleeding-bleeding from the leg, which is making it difficult to press the attack. The third is that I'm dying-as is my opponent-dying beneath a blood red sky.

The ground trembled suddenly and the remnants of the cage rattled as a minor Ursaquake shook the glade, and the sun orb went from gold to orange. A horse whinnied in the distance and Dravidian looked out across Parvus' homestead to see a great steed leap up in its corral. The slightest push against the dilapidated boards would have freed it-but the creature either did not know or did not care. The horse, however mighty, knew its place. It knew in...

"Ah, yes, indeed. I see now why little Joyung was so frightened …"
The voice had come from the wagon. Instinctively, I cocked my head back as to peer beneath the visor, and saw a man older than myself yet young nonetheless leaning against the rear of the coach, his head only inches from the wine-skin, and his arms folded in front of him. There was an exquisite black cane wedged between his arms and his chest, just below the handle of which shown...
