Keith Buckley Posts Up Pre-Orders for a New Novel
Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die has written a book. It’s called Watch, it’ll be available in August, and pre-orders are now up:
When John Harvey’s watch stops working on the morning of February 3rd, 1987, he has an epiphany. It occurs to him that every personal trauma he is trying to forget has had one thing in common: they all occurred at some point on the face of that very watch. The loss of his job, the death of his child, Zola’s suicide, all contained right there in that tiny circle of finite numbers. So he smashes the watch. Problem solved.
