Rushed: Something Wicked
A husband battles dark magic while racing to make his wedding anniversary.
Eric finds himself pulled away from his marriage preparations to defend witches from a killer mage. His prior experience suggests he knows the drill, yet this assignment goes awry immediately. The core conflict arises not from the monsters themselves, but from the timing. With only two days remaining before his reunion with Karen, every delay in the magical realm translates to personal failure at home. Harmon uses this constraint to drive the narrative forward, ensuring that the supernatural threats are constantly measured against the backdrop of impending domestic disappointment. The story balances the external danger of the magic man with the internal anxiety of Eric’s commitment issues.
Published in 2014 by Createspace, this work sits within the independent publishing boom. It reflects a period where self-published authors could reach niche audiences directly, bypassing traditional gatekeepers to offer fresh voices in horror and supernatural fiction to American readers seeking immediate, accessible entertainment.
