About this ebook
In the Clock of Dreams, Cthulhu, one of the Elder Gods, sleeps and dreams - dreams so potent, so powerful, that they can warp reality itself. The mysterious Clock that is capable of hurling men through space and time, even into the monster's dreams, is de Marigny's only hope of finding Titus Crow and saving him from a soul destroying fate.

While I like and appreciate what Lumley is doing with these stories, and they are great additions to the Cthulhu mythos, the dialogue about and between Titus/Tiania is so cloying and unbearable, I have to skip it during and after this book. I'm fine with essentially every character sounding like an English well-to-do gentleman, but there are limits. It is slightly ironic, hopefully intended, that Titus is by far the greatest maiden in distress of all, his ability to be taken prisoner his greatest feat. It is a trick that is perhaps being over used at this point, though.
