Tanglefoot

An interlude in the life of Edwin and Dr. Smeaks, before the events in Clementine. Read it at Subterranean Press here. ( )

Set in Priest's Clockwork Century universe, this chapbook was actually quite scary! The story is about a young boy and the doll he creates to be his friend when he has no one of his own. It is a much more contained piece than the longer entries to the world, and didn't get into any details about the universe, but gave some tantalizing hints and as an added bonus it scared the bejeezus out of me. As always, well done to Priest. ( )
