About this event
**BOLD is thrilled to host an anthology reading for *Clocks* with editor Elizabeth Mitchell and authors Niyyah Ruscher-Haqq, Erin Hall, Rose Wilde-Hall, and Sarah Walker.** Join us as local authors read from their speculative and dark fiction stories in *Clocks,* the latest [Little Key Press](https://littlekeypress.com/) anthology. *Clocks* Seventeen emerging and established authors from around the world reimagined clocks and wove them into beautiful speculative and dark stories. As you move from one narrative to the next, you'll find yourself lost in fog, grasping at a young love, risking it all to save a dying world. Pages will swallow you whole as you slip through time, challenge what it means to live, and create an automaton.
