  Clare made it to the city in the sky, and she's not impressed. 
   
   
   
  The tech is impressive, but it's being woefully underutilized. For a tech wiz like her, it's almost painful to witness. 
   
   
   
  They're having trouble keeping Summerland in the sky, but that's why Anselm dragged Clare up there in the first place. Being the mechanical magician she is, it doesn't take Clare to figure out the obvious. 
   
   
   
  Summerland is broken. 
   
   
   
  Worse than waste and neglect, the city in the sky shows signs of being sabotaged. Clare has a feeling that means things are going to get more interesting. 
   
   
   
  Who would want a city full of technological marvels to plummet from the sky? Especially given that said city is populated by a bunch of speciesist snobs? Oh, right. Pretty much everyone on the ground . . . 
   
   
   
  Clare and Anselm race against time to narrow the list of suspects and find a solution to the mechanical issues ASAP. Otherwise, all their efforts to keep the city in the clouds in the clouds are going to amount to nothing.

  Beyond the Ultra Violet by Frank M. Robinson - Experimenting with the eyes can be a very dangerous thing. You can go blind—or maybe you'll see something no man alive was meant to look upon! 
  You better take your money back, mister. Thanks a lot but—no thanks. I wasn't panhandling, my hat fell off and I was trying to find it on the sidewalk. Thanks again for finding it for me but I think I could have managed. And, no offense, but I can find my way all right without being led. 
  You're surprised that I'm rather young, huh? Well, youth isn't a crime and anyways, twenty-four can be either young or old, depending on who you're talking to. But I know what you mean. I'm rather young for being blind, isn't that it? Most blind people you see on the streets are the old ones, the shabby ones with the pleading faces and the hat with the lead pencils in it or maybe a tin cup and a violin. Sorry to disappoint you but I guess I'm not the type. 
  Sure, I know—you were only trying to help. You probably think I'm bitter because I can't see your world and all the wonderful things in it. Well, it's a long story but that's not the punch line. I might be bitter but not for the reasons you might think. Up until two weeks ago I could see as well as you. And you couldn't call what happened "losing" my sight. Not exactly. 
  So you're curious. You want to hear the rest of it. And you're sure it's not just out of sympathy. Well, all right. There's a bar in the next block where we can get a booth and a couple of beers. 
  Now look, I don't need to be led! You don't need eyes to find your way to a bar on a hot summer day like this. It's toward the end of the block, just a few steps further.... Right here. There's a booth in the back where nobody will bother us for a while.

  The Dream Snake - Nightmares...

  Robert E. Howard

  The Dream Snake by Robert E. Howard is a haunting fusion of horror, fantasy, and dreamlike fatalism. First published posthumously in 1933, it tells the eerie tale of a man tormented by a recurring vision of a monstrous serpent—a vision that may be more than a dream. As the narrator drifts between waking and nightmare, Howard blurs the line between reality and the supernatural, crafting an atmosphere thick with dread and inevitability. Unlike his sword-and-sorcery adventures, The Dream Snake is a psychological horror story, rooted in primal fears and suffused with the poetic melancholy that defined much of Howard’s darker work. It reveals his gift for evoking beauty and terror in equal measure, a glimpse into the subconscious mind of a writer who understood both the hero’s courage and the dreamer’s despair. 
  Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an American author best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian and the father of the sword-and-sorcery genre. Born in Peaster, Texas, and raised in the small town of Cross Plains, Howard poured his imagination into the pages of Weird Tales magazine, where he introduced vivid characters such as Solomon Kane, Kull of Atlantis, and Bran Mak Morn. His writing combined muscular adventure with poetic intensity, reflecting both the rugged landscape of Texas and his fascination with ancient civilizations and mythic struggle. Though his life was tragically brief, Howard’s influence is immense—his characters have inspired films, comics, and generations of fantasy writers. Beyond the blood and thunder of his tales lies a deep sense of melancholy and longing, qualities seen clearly in The Dream Snake and his many atmospheric poems. Today, Robert E. Howard stands as one of the most powerful voices of early 20th-century imaginative fiction, a storyteller whose creations continue to live in the dreams of readers worldwide.
