THE SILENT LIGHTHOUSE Chapter 01

by Quien Cobbet — The road to Port Cinder was less a road and more a suggestion—a gravel-strewn scar through salt-blasted heath that ended abruptly at the edge of the world. Elin's survey vehicle, a sturdy wagon fitted with her custom mapping instruments, had complained for the last three miles. Now it sat silent, and so did she. Before her sprawled the town: a collection of weathered buildings huddled against the coast like sheep seeking shelter from an unseen storm. Grey stone, grey wood, grey sky. The only color…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-09

by webnovelverse — A LITTLE more remains to be told. Three months later I was removed from the hospital, a broken man. The serious attack of brain fever, following my terrible experience, was all but fatal. During the whole period Jim never left my side. His remorse was pitiable. He has never ceased to execrate his cowardice in forsaking me. But I do not now hold him a coward. On the contrary, I consider his act in coming back for me, after what he had seen, one of sublime courage. I have no explanations to make,…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-08

by webnovelverse — PRESENTLY the form of the woman lay quiet, and the man rose to a crouching position. His eyes glared and then changed to an expression of terror. Before him stood the figure of his father, his finger pointing accusingly to the still form of the woman. Again utter blackness for what seemed an interminable period. And yet again I saw an emanation from nothingness, that grew into a filmy form—this time the elder Ormond. He stood pondering deeply. Then a look of resolve, of ter- rible unchanging resolve,…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-07

by webnovelverse — Some unseen being was sorting the cards! "The euchre deck," Jim whispered. "It wants to get into the game." As if in confirmation of the words, the pack containing the face cards was taken up and skillfully shuffled. It was then passed to me to cut. I cut. Again the pack was raised and two cards drifted to me, two others falling at the empty space between Jim and me. This was repeated until I had twelve cards. The other twelve were then raised, were slipped rapidly between invisible fingers just as a…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-06

by webnovelverse — "Easy, old man, easy! This is only part of the performance," I said. "We are going to remain for the whole show." Do not think that I am endowed with any superlative degree of courage. I am not. If I had obeyed my natural impulse I should have fled in a panic that instant. In fact, I should never have gone into the room. But I had undertaken this thing deliberately. I knew, or believed I knew, the conditions and consequences. If this were mere trickery, a close and careful investigation would reveal it.…

by webnovelverse — This time, Lin Feng didn’t argue. He left without looking back. I thought he wouldn’t come the next day. But at dawn, he came in again, carrying a basket of all kinds of fruit. I was barely awake, but took the basket. Lin Feng turned away, saying stiffly, “I’ll leave after you put on the medicine.” He came so early, I could barely keep my eyes open. As I walked to the table, I tripped on a rock. “Ugh.” Suddenly, Lin Feng’s face was right in front of mine, and somehow,…

by webnovelverse — JIM looked at me, and then with one bound, leaped toward the curtains and tore them apart. He disappeared from view, but reappeared almost instantly, brushing the front of his coat. "Nothing in there, but I felt something like a big rat crawling up my coat. Ugh!" We gazed about the room. It was furnished in the style of the past century, with heavy walnut chairs and dresser, and a massive canopied bed from which the curtains had been removed. And upon the bed lay the figure of a man in the position…

by webnovelverse — Sure enough, the next day I found Lin Feng collapsed at the cave entrance. Beside him was a basket of peaches. I nudged his hand with my foot. Lin Feng looked up weakly. “Mei Chen… want some peaches?” I couldn’t refuse and let him in. He used the cave wall to steady himself, following me inside. He looked happy, his half-tail wagging. “Stop wagging.” He realized what I meant, his face falling as he let his tail droop. The mood turned cold. “Take off your…
