Half Past Ted by Gary A. Campbell – A Refreshing Take on Death and Redemption


 

In Half Past Ted, author Gary A. Campbell introduces readers to an unexpected and darkly comedic version of the Grim Reaper. Ted, the titular character, isn’t your typical soul-taker; he’s worn out from his job and wants nothing more than to quit. A recluse in his Scottish castle, drowning in alcohol and disdain for humanity, Ted feels trapped in a never-ending cycle of death. But when he boldly declares a strike against God, the universe decides to challenge him in ways he never imagined.

At the heart of the story is a wager between God and the Devil, where Ted's eternal soul is at stake. The Devil believes he can push Ted to murder, while God has other plans for him. Enter Lethe, a mysterious French nanny, and Alyssa, a goth girl with a knack for making Ted’s life far more complicated. As Ted navigates through a web of divine intervention, historical mysteries, and personal reckoning, he finds himself caught between the past in 17th century Scotland and a potential future in present-day Detroit.

Campbell’s narrative combines elements of dark humor, supernatural intrigue, and emotional depth, making Ted's journey a compelling one. With an Amazon rating of 4 stars, Half Past Ted has received praise for its unique take on familiar themes like life, death, and redemption. As one reviewer, Stephani Jones, notes: “This is a unique adaptation of Death, God, Lucifer and all the players in his world.” A total page-turner, this book is a must-read for anyone looking for a twist on classic supernatural tales.
