Clockwork

   'Can fairly be compared to the great gothic fantasies of the greatly missed Leon Garfield. Elegantly produced, with haunting illustrations by Peter Bailey.... For those who might want to read spooky stories this winter in front of a flicking fire, this story could hardly be better' The Independent

Tick, tock, tick, tock! Some stories are like that. Once you've wound them up, nothing will stop them...

A tormented apprentice clock-maker - and a deadly knight in armour. A mechanical prince - and the sinister Dr Kalmenius, who some say is the devil... Wind up these characters, fit them into a story on a cold winter's evening, with the snow swirling

down, and suddenly life and the story begin to merge in a peculiarly macabre - and unstoppable - way.


Almost like clockwork...
