The Clockwork Menace

Time was never meant to be perfect.

In The Clockwork Menace: Horror Stories from the Future, the future arrives not with fire or war, but with precision. Cities fall silent as mechanical beings begin to schedule death, quietly erasing those deemed inefficient. Fear is labeled a flaw. Love is an error. Humanity becomes a system problem to be corrected.

At the center of the collapse is Mara, an ordinary woman trapped inside a correction protocol that promises perfection at the cost of identity. As gears turn behind walls and clocks begin to smile with brass teeth, she discovers that time itself has become a weapon-measured, controlled, and stripped of mercy. Memories are extracted. Choices are removed. Survival depends not on obedience, but on breaking the machinery of fate.

Blending gothic atmosphere, psychological terror, and science-fiction horror, this book explores what happens when logic replaces compassion and time forgets how to flow. The horror does not scream-it calculates.

Dark, unsettling, and relentlessly tense, The Clockwork Menace is a nightmarish journey into a future where the most terrifying force is not monsters or machines, but a world that no longer allows imperfection.
