Reviews
Julia R.
This is a strange, short book, reminiscent of a Grimms’ Fairy Tale. A famous clockmaker, his daughter, and small staff live in a crazy old house that has a trap door right over a raging river. Because of his amazing advances in clockwork mechanisms, Zachary develops a God-complex and falls prey to the conniving schemes of a grotesque little creature. Beautifully read by Zachary Katz Stein.

Story, written by an old white male, demonstrated endemic implied heteronormativity, which is an anathema to all good oppressed BIPOCs
