A haunted house. A cursed clock. A ghost tethered to time itself.
When Quinn died in 2020, she didn't expect to remain-especially not trapped in Blackwood Manor, a decaying relic of her family's legacy. Bound to an ancient grandfather clock that ticks backward, Quinn haunts the halls unseen, her presence woven into the silence and shadows. But she is not alone.
Avery, her vibrant cousin and the manor's current resident, begins to suffer disturbing lapses in memory and unsettling visions that seep into her paintings and dreams. As the clock's strange rhythm warps reality, Avery teeters on the edge of madness-unaware that the source of her unraveling may be closer than she thinks.
Meanwhile, the ghost of Quinn's grandfather begins to appear-growing younger with each visitation, his identity eroding with time. What begins as a haunting quickly spirals into a temporal collapse, as Quinn uncovers a horrifying family secret: the clock is not simply cursed-it's a prison powered by trapped souls.
As the line between past and present disintegrates, Quinn must confront a devastating choice: break the curse and disappear forever, or let time unravel everything.
Atmospheric, unsettling, and deeply emotional, The Clock's Hands is a chilling first-person ghost story that explores grief, memory, and the terrible cost of trying to reverse time. Perfect for fans of gothic horror, haunted house fiction, and literary supernatural tales.
