The Chaos Clock: Tales of the Cosmic Aether by Danielle Ackley-McPhail – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
The Chaos Clock by Danielle Ackley-McPhail
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It is the Victorian era and it is an era full of the power of steam which is just beginning to develop, but what happens when this new age of steam and steam, powered contraptions becomes mashed with the challenges of time, but not as we know it? Time when chaos is added into the mix, this is where we find the chaos clock .
This book is a selection of short stories based on this concept however, not in the traditional sense. From the creation of the chaos clock and the effects it has on the world around them, this collection explores the evolution of creation and creator alike, from the Eldritch monsters that live in a parallel version of this world as it collides into ours.
This collection will take you from madness and mayhem, desperation and despair. A collection where people confront their deepest darkest fears, as the time that they know of disintegrates, and moulds itself into something completely new.
So forget what you knew about time, and how it runs, instead dive into this dystopian past, where nothing is as it seems, time has no meaning and the chaos clock rules all, but will you survive the spiral, or will you experience the same madness as those being watched over by the Eldritch monsters above, below and all around them in the spreading darkness.
