Synopsis: 

Clock the Chaos Mage. A stranger out of time, hidden in the folds of shadow. He is the guardian of Coney Island's supernatural borderlands, and the only thing standing between our reality and the demons that thirst to destroy it.

Clock's Watch. An anthology of heroic dark fantasy and terror. Illustrations by Sean Bova, Jay Campbell and MV.

Review: 

"Clock's Watch" is a very interesting horror collection. The idea of a guardian between two worlds, human and evil, perhaps has been used before, but not in this way. Our protagonist is one and only.

There are two things I especially liked in this book:

For starters, the great investigation and research about sorcery and demonology. Every story has those elements. The chants or spells Clock pours over the demons as well as the method to hunt them bring a dose of realism that keeps you interested, not only in the story, but in the occult content.

Also, I love so much the protagonist. Hero or antihero? I couldn't say.

I like his form and personality. Not excessively broken but absolute with his preys. Always empathises with the "other" character just enough to make them feel they're not alone.

This title is certainly catching and gets you stuck to it. I like demonic horror, so I enjoyed this piece. Evil entities interact with their hunter in a very familiar way —they know each other. They wait for each other.
Reyes plays with the visible and invisible. Who sees what? We don't know, and he disguises his threads between these veils.

It's a quick read, but it leaves remains in your mind. You keep on thinking about Clock, about his fate, about his... eternity.

I'm already recommending this book. Not only to horror readers but for paranormal and thriller lovers.
Congrats to the author!!

OTHER BOOK REVIEWS

VS:X: US vs UK Extreme Horror

Anthology edited by Dawn Cano

This book is a special piece. It consists of a competition between US and UK writers, round by round one writer becomes the winner with their short story. You can find different kinds of subjects, from gore extreme sex to bloody revenge and dark conspiracies. Big names show up in this book, competing against each other. Most stories focus on fury and revenge, taking the author to the limit. Others are lighter, like a dark thriller. I enjoyed very much the rounds seven, twelve and thirteen. The book opens with a quite light round, but if you keep on reading you get to the extreme ones. In my case, what I was... Read More

Yeti Yearning

Yeti Yearning

Essel Pratt

"Yeti Yearning" by Essel Pratt is a very, very special book. I don't even dare to review it as any other regular title. What can you expect when you have this book in your hands? We are not used to the concept of "yeti", and belonging to Project 26 (which is an amazing terror book collection project from J. Ellington Ashton Press), you ask yourself "what is this?". I need to start from the point that Pratt's writing is very pleasurable to read, which makes his books sincerely gratifying to hold. He brings a sugary tone to threads, in a way that he exposes a bloody scene giving you the sensation of watching ballet... Read More

Haunted House Harbor

Haunted House Harbor

Roma Gray

Haunted House Harbor" by Roma Gray is a terror book (part of Project 26, book 8) about the "perfect Apocalypse". But no definition could ever describe the amazing work Gray brings to us. The plot is complex, many characters are introduced at the same time, suffering a worldwide terrorist attack (a very creative one, I must say) each one of them, in their way. They find (or are they forced to find...?) shelter in a place which hosts its own evil entities. You’ll still have to deal with what already lives in this town, and I think you will discover that it is always hungry.” With a cackling laugh, she added: “Welcome... Read More

Knock and You Will See Me

Knock and You Will See Me

Andrew Cull

"Knock and You Will See Me" by Andrew Cull is-a-terror-book. What do I mean? You better have a light on when you read it.  A loving parent protecting her children from something she cannot even understand.  A ghostly story, taking the reader to shivers. While you hold this book, you check your back very often.  Cull's writing is very easy to drown into. His words are soft and warm, you don't even realize you're letting the fear into your room.  A strong loving family and a deep dark memory of the dead tie the thread. The link is broken when no one believes her word and how she and her kids... Read More

Joshua's Folly (The Sacred Blade of Profanity series Book II)

Joshua's Folly (The Sacred Blade of Profanity...

Toneye Eyenot

"Joshua's Folly" by Toneye Eyenot is the second book of the dark-fantasy series "The Sacred Blade of Profanity." The first one, "The Scarlett Curse" is an amazing little novella where the main characters and background are introduced. This book reveals the thread in flashes, sewing all the stories from the first title together. What seemed to be the centre of the plot, is not. Who you thought to be the hunter, turns into prey. Everything makes sense for the reader, but all doors remain open for THAT feeling telling you nothing will stay like this for long. Many important characters run parallel, connected little...
