The Chaos Clock: Tales of Cosmic Aether edited by Danielle Ackley-McPhail – Review by Amanda Swindle

The Chaos Clock by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Chaos Clock is made up of 14 short stories about time and clocks. I really enjoyed the concept and ideas that went into this anthology, and how each story is remarkably unique from the others. I really loved the steampunk vibes and how each author was able to capture their own take on the power of time. This can be a bit of a slower read if you do not enjoy similar writings of HP Lovecraft or HG Wells (both of which I respect and enjoy). This is one you can read straight through or pick and choose your way around the book, and I hope more anthologies are to follow! The stories included are:
