Defying Humdrum: Appealing To Fans Of Stephen King, New Supernatural Novel Confirms ‘Be Careful What You Wish For’

Sean F Campbell’s Defying Humdrum tells the story of George Harris, a man who’s fed up with his mundane existence. With an attempted shortcut home one night leading him to the village of Littlewood, he finds the excitement he’s been searching for, but at what cost?

Whilst we’re all guilty of bemoaning our humdrum lives and wanting our worlds to be rattled by adventure and risk, Sean F Campbell’s protagonist, George Harris, has no idea what is in prospect when he accidently stumbles upon the village of Littlewood, whilst taking a shortcut home one night.

Defying Humdrum

This eerie supernatural thriller offers a rollercoaster of plot twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat as they learn whether George gets out Littlewood in one piece. Writing with a maturity and confidence that belies the fact this is only the author’s second novel; fans of both Stephen King and Iain Rob Wright will devour this book. With its delicious characterisation – from hapless and bored George to Selena, the epitome of his most sordid fantasies and the devil incarnate in the form of Mr Sneed, Defying Humdrum undoubtedly seals Sean F Campbell’s reputation as an author of note.

Life does not always adhere to the plans we have in place for it. Some of us are satisfied with the cards we are dealt; others remain bitter. George Harris had big dreams and ambitions but now flounders in a sea of discontent.

Any friends he once had have long-since left him behind, and his life now consists of nothing more than a loveless marriage and a dead-end job. Nobody seems to share his life’s passions and the trends of the modern world do little to stimulate him. He desperately craves something more in his time on earth – to feel alive instead of just existing.

All hope seems lost until the night he stumbles upon a quaint little village that changes his world entirely. A grizzly reality lurks beneath this new-found paradise and George soon discovers that things which seem too good to be true often are.
