Description
Presenting fifteen previously unpublished short stories, set against the ticks and whirs of unfathomable devices, synchronised, in apparent mockery of the true cycles of nature and human desire. Herein are dark tales of clocks and music boxes, penny arcades and automata, tales in which the lines between the intricacies of the organic and the inorganic become very often blurred.
With each piece written especially for this project, the book brings together a rare collection of work by some of the finest authors of strange fiction around today.
