A Humdrum of Shorts is a series of short story fiction and poems by author Michael Lee Lockett. In the fine tradition of American shorts, Lockett entices a cataclysm of macabre and beautiful themes that embrace the limitless wonders of the human psyche. Characters merge in voice and story, indulging the senses to experience a plethora of fascinating tales- all set deep within the recesses of the mind. Each story embarks the reader on a journey through the catacombs of time and space in the existential, abstract progression of being. Perfect for cold, dark evenings, as the earth gasps- wearily aware of the universality of mortality, Hum Drum will have you bound in chills: your shoulders arched, hairs standing on-end.
