The Hollow Clock found its way to me recently, and I haven’t quite been able to shake it since.
What really stood out to me was the central concept of a city powered by conscious, suffering individuals. That idea alone carries a strong moral and philosophical weight, and the way you build the world of Hollowmere around that hidden truth gives the story a persistent sense of unease.
I also especially appreciated Cal’s ability to hear the voices within the mechanism. It creates a powerful emotional anchor for the narrative, turning what could be an abstract system into something immediate and human. The tension between progress and sacrifice, especially within the framework of a corporate theocracy, adds a sharp edge to the story’s stakes.
Having spent time in publishing, I come across a lot of work, and yours is one that genuinely stood out and lingered with me.
Thank you for crafting such a dark and thought-provoking world it was a compelling read.
The Hollow Clock
Love the dark steampunk theme. Couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to other titles from this author.
Still Water
This is an intense thrilling story that invokes all sorts of emotions in you, in a town where people are loosing their children to a river, not one family but different families in the town. The sheriff himself finds himself in a situation where he’s not just investigating what happened to other kids, he’s in a position trying to find out what happened to his daughter too, things don’t add up and suspicions go over the roof.
This is one of those stories that has your curiosity at its peak. I was really eager to know what exact was going on. I found it absolutely enjoyable, I couldn’t keep the book down just because I really wanted to uncover what was happening.
The pace was amazing, it wasn’t a story that was rushed at all. There were many characters mentioned but the author took time to explain everyone’s story which gave a sense of familiarity before we got to now find out more about the situation that was taking place.
This book was absolutely enjoyable and I absolutely loved reading it.
