The Clockwork Magician

By: Eldritch Black

Narrated by: Hannibal Hills

A street urchin with a mysterious gift. A nightmarish enemy hunting over the gaslit streets of London. Dark Magic Rising.

It’s a cold winter’s night when Jake Shillingsworth, serving boy at The Tattered Crow, finds himself running a task for his monstrous master Silas Grumble. Jake’s errands are never fun, but this one is worse than most. This one’s for a witch….

When Jake’s best friend is snatched by a terrifying creature he’s forced to seek help from Professor Thistlequick; an eccentric man known as the clockwork magician.

Soon Jake finds himself in strange shadowed streets and soaring over clouds in a race to stop the gravest of threats.

London Bridge is falling down, and so will the entire city if Jake and his unlikely companions fail.

The Clockwork Magician is what would happen if Sherlock Holmes met Doctor Who with a Dickensian cast of grotesques, nail biting adventures, and shadowy heroines who aren’t what they seem.

Steampunk Dickens

Listening to The Clockwork Magician made remember how much I enjoy steampunk and realize it had been much too long since I'd read a steampunk story. Jake Shillingsworth is a great character and his underdog adventure was thrilling, with my favorite part being where he finally stands up for himself. Great story of friendship and overcoming adversity,. Considering how the book ends I am really hoping we get a sequel at some point. Hannibal Hills has such a unique voice and it was absolutely perfect for this story.

The Clockwork Magician

A fun read!A tavern boy is carried along on a tide of intrigue and fantasy to squelch a demon,a bad demon,as opposed to a good one.Hannibal Hills is the only person you want to narrate such a fanciful book.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

Love it!

Really good the story pulls you in and you won’t want to leave! The narrator brings the book to life outstanding.

Steampunk dark fantasy

If Inspector Magic Gadget had tea with Neil Gaiman I'd imagine they'd be talking about this book with a twisted grin and a scone.

A fun story well told.

Eldritch Black knows how to turn a phrase and tell an engaging, exciting story. His use of adjectives and scene setting draws the reader or listener in, to the point where one can feel the vibe, smell the odors, see the colors, and imagine the characters. Hannibal Hills narration is splendid! How does he keep track of all the different voices!?! More! Bravo!

Great quirky fun!!!

I loved listening to this based both on the quality of the story and the enthusiastic narration! Quite an adventure, equals parts exciting and comical. Hoping there's a sequel!

Imaginative Story in an Alternate London

This is centered around the life of a Tavern boy who is indebted to a Vuger master. His adventure, many not of his own making, are the basis of this book. He has mismatched eyes that let him see what most other people can not, which gets him called a lier.
Narrator does a fantastic job with the various characters voices as well as the entire storyline.
