The Clockwork Phoenix series showcases beautifully-written, difficult-to-categorize stories of the fantastic, and we are pleased to host a reading and party celebrating the fifth book in this series.  It's the largest and most ambitious to date, containing 20 stories by 21 authors. A starred review in Publishers Weekly proclaimed that "all the stories afford thought-provoking glimpses into alternative realities that linger, sparking unconventional thoughts, long after they are first encountered."
