This is a book that at first glance I don’t think I would have normally found myself reading, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Clock’s Watch is a series of short stories centered around a bit of a mysterious character, Clock, who is the warden over Coney Island. Here he watches day after day and night after night for signs of demons having invaded our realm, intent on possessing humans and destroying them.
Though the stories could each be read on their own, read in sequence they paint an overall progressive picture of some of Clock’s time as guardian and we get to know just a little bit more about this mystery man. But really the main focus of the stories are these other characters that come and go. Through them we get to see life in this area through its residents. What are their hopes and dreams? What is important to them. How do they live? These are some of the things we get to see explored in these shorts. In a way, this felt like a little bit of a love letter to the area and its people. It felt very slice of life in some ways–at least until the demons showed up.
This is very much a dark fantasy and there’s no holding back from the violence and gore inflicted by the demons. Good people die. Clock can’t save everyone and you get the feeling that it eats at him just a bit. But after being around a while maybe it’s resigned to the fact and is focused instead on making sure he can catch the demons before they unleash too much into the world. But don’t go into this expecting it to be fun and light. It is a quick read, in part because of the length but also the pacing is great, but it’s not light and airy. In a lot of ways I felt like the stories were somewhat introspective as well.
One of the things I liked most about these stories is the prose itself. It has such a lovely rhythm to it and made for a great reading experience.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these shorts. Honestly, this really isn’t something I normally would have expected myself to like as much as I did. I would recommend Clock’s Watch to lovers of dark fantasy, or folks that maybe want something a little different. 4/5 stars.

This decent collection of urban fantasy stories was all about the diminutive hero Clock the Chaos Mage— who fights a lonely battle against encroaching evil. The stories are:
1. Clock's Watch
2. The Black Baloon
3. Narrioch
4. The Indigo Mushroom
5. The Cut Worm Forgives The Plough
6. Crockett
They were pulpy fun, bringing the memories of comics and non-pc stuff in mind, while retaining modern sensibilities.
If you have some time to pass AND if you like urban fantasy tales, this book should be handy.

Coney Island, a confluence of weirdness and demonic powers. Guarded by the diminutive, unseen hero, Clock!
Clock is a Chaote, a chaos mage. A lonely figure that watches over the Island of Narrioch, and is the guardian that watches at the edge of our reality, making sure that the things that come through are sent back on their merry bloody way.
This is an interesting set of stories by Michael Ray about Clock and his adventures in Coney Island. I was first introduced to Michael Reyes’ s writing earlier this year with the frenetically paced The Cursed Diary of a Brooklyn Dog Walker, and said to myself that I need to go back and read some more. And here I am, at the start of his Clock’s Watch Series.
Clock’s Watch comprises of six individual, self contained stories that have an overarching episodic nature and build up to form a complete narrative.
Quite a novel approach (sorry, couldn’t resist).
The first story introduces us to the Coonskin hat wearing, crossbow wielding diminutive chaos mage that stands as a guardian between the worlds. Clock may be short of stature, but he is big on personality, that is when you can see him that is, due to the fact that he is slightly invisible, and most people can’t see him. This has its advantages of course. However there are some that can see him.
When we are first introduced to Clock, he is investigating the emergence of some monster who has taken over the body of a young mother.
As I said earlier, there six stories in total and Michael Reyes fills them with all sorts of weird and wonderful monsters and demons.
There are demons who use a black balloon to possess the living, little red mite demons that live in the guts of racoons and gate crash a party resulting in a Raimiesque tale of blood and slaughter.
An indigo mushroom that plans to reveal Clock’s secrets.
There is much to admire in Michael Reyes’ writing. He has the ability to make you howl with laughter whilst delivering some gruesome goriness. His descriptive prose is very streamlined and he doesn’t waste a word which adds to the overall urgency of the situations that Clock finds himself in.
And can you get away from a review without mentioning Clock himself, the inimitable hero of the story. He is gruff and totally rough around the edges and to his middle, but he is a kind soul that takes his duties as the Guardian of Coney Island extremely seriously and he never lets anything through on his watch.
The book itself is a short read but extremely worth it. The self containedness of the stories make it easy to read and yet the overarching nature of the stories give you that sense of having read a novel.

Clock’s Watch is an interesting book that kept me turning pages. Even in the world of occult, terror and darkness there comes an elf that is not like a Christmas elf but one who is a guardian, protecting Coney Island and the book surprises us with sudden local characters, the ones that help the guardian elf called Clock. Clock seems like a powerful soul and I found the book to hold me in suspense, its words and phrases so much like a melody flowing with the smooth plot. I loved it in the beginning as Clock is invisible to all locals but one restaurant owner Tahir can see him, I find that Michael Reyes followed one genius hack to go smooth in the beginning and in the middle, adding surprising twists and turns, and the ending is like an entertainment, full of clever vocabulary, like a magician using words to portray funny, dangerous scenes like it’s a charismatic read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book like it’s a real story about an occult elf on an honor bound duty to protect and to slay with his arrows. Its simple use of story line coupled with entrancing and enchanting story telling ability is one of a delightful work of art. I laughed at the ending scenes and at times the dangerous chapters, The Indigo Mushroom and The Cut Work Forgives the Plough had indeed become a feeling of lighter nervousness read! Only Michael Reyes can manage to achieve such a brilliant piece of art. To me Clock’s Watch is a silent thriller, its plot like a modern tale, its characters taking the form of creative figures and I loved each and every character in this book. The darker horror of its soulless creatures remains only an imagination and Clock is one character which I found an intoxicating read. Clock’s Watch deserves its reader’s attention and I am simply in awe of Michael Reyes writing talent to write such a classic masterpiece, it’s like he truly nailed this book! Congratulations to Michael Reyes for writing such a brilliant work, as this occult story sound like a breathless art! Definitely, now my curious imagination on matters of occult stories is now fulfilled! Such an awakening!

Very different a unique novel. Has elements of grim dark and an urban fantasy feel and it reads like a set of short stories. Characters and the writing were great even though the setting isn’t my favorite.

Very interesting horror collection. The idea of a guardian between two worlds, human and evil, perhaps has been used before, but not in this way. Our protagonist is one and only.
There are two things I especially liked in this book:
For starters, the great investigation and research about sorcery and demonology. Every story has those elements. The chants or spells Clock pours over the demons as well as the method to hunt them bring a dose of realism that keeps you interested, not only in the story, but in the occult content.
Also, I love so much the protagonist. Hero or antihero? I couldn't say.
I like his form and personality. Not excessively broken but absolute with his preys. Always empathises with the "other" character just enough to make them feel they're not alone.
This title is certainly catching and gets you stuck to it. I like demonic horror, so I enjoyed this piece. Evil entities interact with their hunter in a very familiar way —they know each other. They wait for each other.
Reyes plays with the visible and invisible. Who sees what? We don't know, and he disguises his threads between these veils.
It's a quick read, but it leaves remains in your mind. You keep on thinking about Clock, about his fate, about his... eternity.
I'm already recommending this book. Not only to horror readers but for paranormal and thriller lovers.
Congrats to the author!!

First off, short stories are great to get in those quick reads for those of us with busy lifestyles. This book did not disappoint. This book gave me the sense I was reading a serial but didn’t have to wait until next week to find out what happens next. All of the stories flowed together well. I’ve never been to the setting of the stories, but the author did a great job using descriptives so I could imagine I had been there before. Looking forward to reading the next set of adventures of this unlikely hero!

This is actually a series of short stories all featuring Clock. I usually don't care for short stories but I did enjoy this book. Clock is hilarious and the stories are well thought out and move fast. It is a short read, I finished in a night. I would recommend the book for a fun fast read. Maybe the author will right a series based on Clock.

I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into here, as this was a sale that popped up on Twitter.
It turns out, I liked this collection of vignettes about Jerry Clock, the lone guardian of Coney Island against the demons and chthonic entities that attempt to enter the realms of men through it. To start, we don’t know much about Clock, other than that he wears a coonskin cap and no one can see him. Not just because he’s really short, a Little Person, but because there is something about him that most people just don’t notice anymore.
Which probably makes his job easier, since he can skulk around the boardwalk or get drunk on the beach without anyone asking impertinent questions like: why are you following that guy? or what are you doing with that crossbow and giant knife!?!
We see a fair bit of Jerry and his work through the eyes of the unfortunates who get caught up in the schemes of some unspeakable monster from the deep that needs a host to complete a summoning ritual, or some such. The details tend to vary here, since Clock’s Watch isn’t an exercise in elaborate world-building, but rather a pastiche of fantasy and horror and scifi villains that are consistently thwarted by a foul-mouthed dwarf who gets drunk and stabs things.
I’m a born Westerner, so I don’t know much about Coney Island or its environs, but I can detect the kind of passionate love of place that I enjoy in other authors’ work. So while I don’t know the place in the same way a local might, I could at least tell that Reyes wanted to tell fun stories set in a place he loved, even if [or because] it was a little weird.
This isn’t a book that takes itself too seriously, and was a lot of fun to read. I’m looking forward to volume II, and seeing what other kinds of trouble Clock finds himself in.

Clock's Watch is a nice collection of dark fantasy stories. I love the title Clock's Watch. I really liked the character of Clock, he was interesting and entertaining. He felt very well-developed as did the characters around him. Some of the periphery characters were not quite as well fleshed out but the stories weren't long enough for that to matter. I really liked the mini-synopses before the stories. They reminded me a lot of the fifties serials.
I really liked the stories themselves. The various demons and monsters were interesting and creative. The stories were also wrapped up in a good manner with each one self-contained. In fact, that's the only real problem with it. I think that the book would have worked better as a novel. I'd have liked to have known more about the mythology of Clock's world. And Clock himself. He's really funny and interesting. We get a bit of knowledge about him but the stories and supernatural elements don't have a lot of explanation behind it. I think if this were reworked into a novel length work with more room for backstory it would be great.
The illustrations are good on the front and back. I really like the one on the back in particular. I actually wished there would have been more in the book, like one per story would have been great. I would recommend the book for those who want short, well-written stories of supernatural action and shenanigans with Clock as your guardian through it all.

Great collection of dark fantasy adventures
I didn’t quite know what to make of this at outset. It came across as a series of short stories - which it is - but then the central character Clock weaves his way into all the tales, and it makes much more sense. And I enjoyed it too. Quite dark in places, but also clever and fresh with some fun and funny elements. Oh, and there are some cool illustrations to add to the experience as-well. Nice.
This series of shorts cover the adventures of Clock as he protects Coney Island from agents of darkness. Why Coney Island? Well more to the point, why not. Presumably it is a favourite place for the author, but it is a fun back-drop to these stories (snow on the beach?!?) which is great.
Over the course of several stories we learn about Clock as he intervenes and saves the day, and by the end of the book he has his own adventure and we really start to get to grips with him. Some parts were a bit challenging to read because of head hopping, but that’s a small point really, and I had great fun with this book. I can’t wait to read on and find out about Clock’s next adventures!

Awesomely researched, and wonderfully dark!
In the first story, I was almost ready to give this one a 4 because there were no scene breaks and the scenes shifted so often that my mind was doing more work to keep up than imagining the scenes. But after that, as of the second story, that changed, he locked onto one character at a time, and his new York shadow world took on the dark gory clarity that Mr. Reyes intended. At that point, he earned his 5 with ease! The clashes with spiritual and extra dimensional beings were bloody and detailed, there was a great level of metaphysical research done, and there were varied hues to the lives of New Yorkers that Clock interacts with. I really enjoyed the level of depth to those who accidentally stumble into these dark secrets of the city. This was definitely a worthwhile read in urban dark fantasy! Only thing to criticise: please use scene breaks, Mr. Reyes

Let me get one thing out of the way first- the thing I disliked the most about Clock's Watch is that I felt at times that the writer was concealing too much about the nature of Clock for me to understand what was going on. Why is he the guardian of Coney Island? Why can't people see him? What's the deal with the knife? There were too many questions as a reader and I felt there wasn't enough payoff. I think this is a case where I really wanted the author to spend more time fleshing out those details than what the reader received.
That said, Reyes writes excellent action scenes and if you are from New York at all, you'll find yourself grinning at the characters and locales that populate his books. His descriptions are vivid and he pays attention to the details of his world-building in a commendable way. If you like urban fantasy and cosmic horror, it's definitely worth the time.

Probably more my fault than the book's, I haven't managed to really get into the world where the stories happen. Each story hints at a much bigger magical system, but other than Clock there is nothing connecting them together into a coherent whole, which makes it pretty hard to really care about what any one of them tells, as you know that the threat will be quickly taken care of, to never appear again.
Descriptions of the secondary characters are rather too detailed for what their actual problems last, while (though it makes in-story sense) the main character is only slightly fleshed out in the last chapter (although it seems the next book describes him better).
Overall, it's not a terrible book, and if nothing else no story is too long, but at least judging from this book the universe described therein is too abstract to be memorable.

not your typical urban fantasy
Clock’s Watch is unlike anything I’ve read before. It’s gritty, weird, and unapologetically chaotic… in the best way.
Imagine a mash-up old-school occult pulp, but instead of being a nostalgic throwback, it feels fresh.
Jerry Clock is an interesting character, mysterious and strangely endearing (although he didn’t seemed to bothered when he had to kill his friendship!).
The illustrations were a bit of a mixed bag for me (but then this isn’t a genre I normally pick up), but I did like the one in the mushroom story.
If you enjoy weird occult adventures, dark fantasy, and stories that lean into the strange, you’ll probably love this. It could use a little polishing edit though as numerous errors.

This book wanted to start off slow, but the more I read it the more it picked up. I am never the type to quit on a book and I continued to press my way through the slightly boring parts, and then got to the really good stuff. The entertaining stuff. This book has a clever way with words, and that played a huge part in keeping me involved.

A Strange Tale of Chaos Magic, Demonic Possession and Raccoons
The story of Clock, a Chaos Mage who hangs out around Coney Island fighting off demon presences, sometimes even saving the human hosts. The story is weird and intriguing. Each chapter is written like a serial episode with a catchy narrator hook proceeding each. The author head hops a bit so pay attention to who’s who as you read.

Smart, inventive supernatural horror
There’s a lot going on in this dark and demon-haunted story. A mostly-invisible dwarf battles to guard our reality from evil incursions–both spiritual and alien while trying to protect a series of more garden-variety humans from destruction. A great mix of action, monsters, violence and ancient magic.

Fantasy story will appeal for all tastes
Took me little bit to get into the book. Trying to figure out the characters . Clock from the past protector from the demons. Short story feel but combines into a fantastic book and read.

Had good moments but overall I didn't really like the characters and couldn't really connect with any of them so got a bit disconnected from this book.

This is a fun book! It can be a bit difficult to follow, lacking chapters or some separators that tell when switching between characters or scenes in some sections.
Fun Story! This book is well worth the read! Follow Clock on his never ending quest to save the world from dangers unnoticed by all but the most discerning! Looking forward to reading the next book!

Apparently a collection of short stories. I got about half way through the first one. Just couldn't connect with the world of Clock that the author was creating. All just a bit strange to me.
