The meltdown at Three Mile Island created the death zone known as the Drift, where the sky burned dark blue and pink, and where boneseekers destroyed bodies within. Two-headed monsters, dog-faced boys, mutated vampires and other undesirables were thrown into the Drift. Now, they're coming out.

Le baiser du masque

Désespéré par l'inutilité de son savoir, le Docteur Faust brûle ses livres.
Alors, une voix étrange retentit et l'appelle.
Méphistophélès va offrir à Faust des secrets capables d'amener l'humanité à un nouvel âge d'or.
Mais du progrès à la damnation, il n'y a parfois qu'un pas...
Lyrique, terrifiante, provocante, une nouvelle interprétation de la légende de Faust, l'homme qui vendit son âme au diable en échange de la connaissance absolue.

Jack Faust

Regarnis la pipe. Si je dois raconter cette histoire comme il faut, j'aurai besoin de son aide. C'est bien. Non, inutile de rajouter une bûche dans le feu. Laisse-le mourir. Il y a pire que l'obscurité.

Ecoute la taverne grincer et gémir dans son sommeil ! Ce ne sont que ses os et ses pierres qui se tassent, pourtant on jurerait entendre le plus esseulé des spectres. Il est tard. On a barré la porte, clos les portes à chaque bout du Pont.

Le feu dépérit. Dans le monde entier, il n'y a d'éveillés que toi et moi. Ce récit ne convient guère à des oreilles aussi jeunes que les tiennes, mais... Oh ! Pas de cet air renfrogné. Tu vas me faire rire, ce qui messied à ma triste histoire. Bon, voilà qui est mieux.

Rapprochons nos tabourets des braises, que je te dise tout...

Michael Swanwick
