The House with the Pale Clock

By Benjamin Dusk

Amsterdam is a city of closed doors and hidden paths. Willem, a young messenger, is drawn into a network of invisible work-tasks whispered through walls, maps drawn in salt, and mirrors that open into rooms no one speaks of.

As the war tightens around him, he begins to learn that the city itself is alive: it hides those who know how to walk its secret lines and swallows those who don't.

The House with the Pale Clock is a haunting literary novel of occupied Amsterdam, where memory bends, time fractures, and a house becomes both refuge and witness.

In the style of Benjamin Dusk-spare, unsettling, and precise-this book explores the silent courage of those who move unseen, and the cost of listening to a city that never forgets.
