Timepieces

On a distant planet, an archaeologist studying alien ruins digs up a few more secrets than she bargained for. The unintentional discovery of an inconspicuous undergraduate sparks a bizarre and convoluted path towards self-acceptance. A young boy exploring a sinister old house is disturbed by an inexplicable hidden companion.

All these premises and more are explored in Timepieces, a new collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories with a healthy dose of rhythmic poetry. With all the elaborate description familiar from Autumn Lin's novels, Timepieces explores the just-barely-unnatural, unearths the complexity within simplicity, and dives deep into the shadows of consciousness.

This is a never-before-seen side of Autumn Lin's writing: the darkest, haziest, and most intricate of her ideas exhibited for the first time.
