Unique "disturbed girl" soundtrack launched today
Unique “Disturbed Girl” soundtrack launched today
Can books have a soundtrack? Well the “Disturbed Girl” series now does, thanks to a unique collaboration with London-based electronic artist and producer Mush No Candy.
Mush No Candy, aka Joe James, describes his music as “a mixture of dirty electro with an eclectic drop of violent youthful bashing”. The six-track album Hannah’s Mix is an ear-twisting blend of beats and screams inspired by James Howell’s novels.
James explained: “Joe is a big fan of the Disturbed Girl novels and he sent me some of his music to listen to. I thought it was on a different planet – it’s like the deranged love child of Aphex Twin and Crystal Castles – so I asked him to put down some tracks using the books as inspiration.
“The mix he has come up with is a rollercoaster that matches the madness and melancholy of Hannah Harker’s life. If you try reading my books and listening to Joe’s music at the same time, I’m fairly sure that your head will melt.”
Download the album for free at the Mush No Candy website.

Hannah harker will return for a final adventure
Hannah Harker will return for a third and final “Disturbed Girl” adventure, it was confirmed today.
Author James Howell will begin work on the story over the coming weeks and it will be published by Amygdala Press in 2013.
The as-yet untitled novel will follow on from the two previous hit novels, A Disturbed Girl’s Guide to Curing Boredom and A Disturbed Girl Implodes.
James Howell said: “The first novel sees Hannah transformed from a fairly normal young woman into a psychotic terrorist as her attempts to find a cure for boredom hideously backfire.
“In the second novel she stumbles inadvertently into the middle of an apocalyptic plot that threatens the very future of mankind. Any last remaining shred of normality in her character is systematically erased and she is left physically broken, mentally mutilated and emotionally lost.
“For the final part of the trilogy she will be offered a route to redemption. She is so damaged at this point that it may be beyond her, but with so much at stake she is forced to summon one last surge of strength.”
Howell added: “There will be a return to some of the themes that were explored in “curing boredom” - particularly the media, personal responsibility and the trials of everyday life – and expect plenty of danger, sex, violence, exotic locations and action. Boundaries will be pushed, nothing will be predictable and by the end of Hannah’s story I hope that readers will be left breathless and in shock!”
Mandy Sullivan from Amygdala Press said: “I think it’s fair to say that everyone who has read the first two Hannah Harker adventures has been captivated by this extraordinary young woman. We get so many insights into hear psyche, but still she remains something of an enigma and this is what has kept readers hooked.
“This third and final part will bring her rollercoaster journey to a conclusion. Quite how the story will end is anybody’s guess, but without a doubt it will be unlike anything you have read before.”
