Clocks

by Elizabeth Elle Mitchell (Editor), Chantell Saunders, Charlotte Van Ryswyk

Seventeen emerging and established authors from around the world reimagined clocks and wove them into beautiful speculative and dark stories.

As you move from one narrative to the next, you’ll find yourself lost in fog, grasping at a young love, risking it all to save a dying world. Pages will swallow you whole as you slip through time, challenge what it means to live, and create an automaton. With poignant representations of queerness, disability and mental health issues, grief, love, and acceptance, Clocks is an anthology as lush and emotional as it is unique.
