In a village untouched by time, people live in serene eternity - until one day when clocks begin to tick, hairs turn to gray, and moments start to slip away. When the village begins to fracture under the weight of hours and endings, the town watchman sets forth to hunt down and vanquish time itself.His journey carries him through a sentient forest where trees philosophize on the passing seasons, to a music-haunted lighthouse where time sings with the sea breeze, and finally to a sprawling city of dreams. Along the way, the watchman encounters thieves of memory and moonlight, the wisest of owls, and death itself. It will take all of them to solve the riddle of time.Blending folklore and philosophy, The Strange Story of the Man Who Murdered Time is an odyssey through the farthest reaches of the imagination, answering that ages old question-where does the time go?
