Singular, idiosyncratic and a little mysterious, Black Clock is one of America's leading literary journals.

Issue— #16

Issue No. 16

The sixteenth issue of Black Clock exists outside of time, less in some future than a dystopic present-day barely glimpsed behind the veil of our more familiar reality. Crumbling urbanscapes, nomadic rock and roll desert rats, genetically cloned children and their forsaken mothers occupy the fiction of Henry Bean, Craig Clevenger, Carola Dibbell, Claire Phillips, and Stephen O’Connor among others, and at the center of it all is Rick Moody’s epic account of the strangest presidential candidate of all time.
