Synopsis
Tick, tock, tick, tock! Some stories are like that. Once you've wend them up, nothing will stop them ...
A tormented apprentice clock-maker, a deadly mechanical knight in armour - 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 ...

'Can fairly be compared to the great gothic fantasies of the greatly missed Leon Garfield ... For those who might want to read spooky stories this winter in front a flickering fire, this story could hardly be better' Independent
'Deeply satisfying and deserves to become a classic' TES
