Chicago. A city alive with jazz, secrets, and a hidden language woven into the grooves of phonograph cylinders. For composer Julieta Varn, haunted by melodies from a forgotten past, these cylinders are more than just recordings; they’re a cryptic message from a mysterious individual known only as “Mistral.” Within their spinning grooves lies a sonic key, a lost language capable of rewriting human consciousness. Julieta, gifted with an uncanny ability to decipher sonic patterns, finds herself drawn into Mistral's enigmatic world. The clicks, whistles, and guttural sounds on the cylinders begin to coalesce, revealing glimpses of a forgotten power, a siren song both beautiful and terrifying. But she's not alone in her pursuit. The Sound Alchemists, led by the ruthless Aaron Sellers, seek to exploit this ancient language for their own insidious ends, envisioning a new world order built on mental enslavement. Aided by Connor Ross, a brilliant linguist obsessed with ancient dialects, and a disillusioned Sound Alchemist named Evelyn Hayes, Julieta embarks on a desperate race against time. Their only hope lies in constructing a colossal “mechanical orchestra,” a machine capable of singing the language back into harmony, before Sellers’s amplified broadcasts enslave the minds of millions. As they delve deeper, a chilling truth emerges: the language’s origin is not human. It is the echo of a slumbering, earthbound intelligence, a titan whose awakening could unravel reality. The clang of metal, the hiss of steam, the urgent pulse of creation—the construction of the orchestra becomes a symphony of its own, mirroring Julieta’s struggle to confront not only human adversaries but an existential threat. With cities descending into chaos under Sellers's sonic attacks, Julieta’s quest becomes a battle for the very soul of humanity. Can they complete the mechanical orchestra, decipher the final whispers on the wax, and silence the earthbound intelligence before its destructive call consumes the world? The fate of humanity hangs in the balance, vibrating in the delicate space between sound and silence.

In The Search for the Codex Cardona, Arnold J. Bauer tells the story of his experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican “painted book” that first came into public view at Sotheby’s auction house in London in 1982, nearly four hundred years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes. On folios of amate paper, the Codex includes two oversized maps and 300 painted illustrations accompanied by text in sixteenth-century paleography. The Codex relates the trajectory of the Nahua people to the founding of the capital of Tenochtitlán and then focuses on the consequences of the Spanish conquest up to the 1550s. If authentic, the Codex Cardona is an invaluable record of early Mexico. Yet there is no clear evidence of its origin, what happened to it after 1560, or even where it is today, after its last known appearance at Christie’s auction house in New York in 1998. Bauer first saw the Codex Cardona in 1985 in the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, where scholars from Stanford and the University of California were attempting to establish its authenticity. Allowed to gently lift a few pages of this ancient treasure, Bauer was hooked. By 1986, the Codex had again disappeared from public view. Bauer’s curiosity about the Codex and its whereabouts led him down many forking paths—from California to Seville and Mexico City, to the Firestone Library in Princeton, to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and Christie’s in New York—and it brought him in contact with an international cast of curators, agents, charlatans, and erudite book dealers. The Search for the Codex Cardona is a mystery that touches on issues of cultural patrimony, the workings of the rare books and manuscripts trade, the uncertainty of archives and evidence, and the ephemerality of the past and its remains.

In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical—born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, her time is growing shorter by the day. Aoife Grayson's family is unique, in the worst way—every one of them, including her mother and her elder brother Conrad, has gone mad on their 16th birthday. And now, a ward of the state, and one of the only female students at the School of Engines, she is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.

In The Šabdan Baatır Codex, Daniel Prior presents the first complete edition, translation, and interpretation of a unique manuscript of early twentieth-century Kirghiz poetry, which includes detailed accounts of nineteenth-century warfare. Dedicated to the chief Šabdan Baatır, the Codex occupies an illuminating position in a network of oral and written genres that encompassed epic poetry and genealogy, panegyric and steppe oral historiography; that echoed oral performance and aspired to print publishing. The Codex’s fresh articulation of concepts of Kirghiz self-identification was incipiently national, yet remained couched in traditional forms. The Codex thus bridges the interval, often glossed over in cultural histories, between a supposedly archaic state of oral epic tradition and the “afterlife” of epics in modern ethno-nationalist projects.
