Clocks Locks Corpses!

Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand - Sir Julius Vogel Award Finalists - 2025 - Best Collected Work

Beside the fire we warm our hands
We tell our tales of distant lands
The midnight hour is surely here
It's time to fill our hearts with fear!

Clocks Locks Corpses! is an anthology of stories that plunges you into a world teeming with
vampires, werewolves, cyborgs, and hordes of the undead. You'll encounter bootlegging
centaurs and the power of unionizing workers, all wrapped up in one conveniently sized
book.

But there's a twist-these epic-length tales are told entirely in rhyme!

Imagine sitting around a camp fire or at a Halloween party where you and your friends take
turns reading these rhyming stories aloud. The cadence of the verses send shivers down
your spine. Each poem captivates and enthrals, making it perfect for storytelling sessions
that last well into the night! Share the thrills and let the haunting verses create frightful
gatherings you'll always remember.

Gather together by the fireplace or under a flashlight's beam and dive into the eerie and
enchanting, poetic, slightly spooky and offbeat world of Clocks Locks Corpses!
