Description
On a cold winter's night, Karl enters the White Horse Tavern, his task as a clockmaker apprentice hanging in the balance. With the unveiling of the great clock of Glockenheim just hours away, he must complete a new figure, but he's yet to make a start. Meanwhile, Fritz is in the tavern, reading aloud his new story, "Clockwork", and hoping the ending will come to him as he tells it.
As the snow swirls outside, Fritz's story and real life begin to merge in a sinister way, and the clockwork machinery of his tale takes on a life of its own. The boundaries between fiction and reality blur, and Karl's task becomes a desperate bid to stop the clockwork from running out of control.
This chilling tale of clockwork and horror is a gripping story of suspense and intrigue, where the consequences of failure are catastrophic.
