A thrillingly vivid novel about eight men cast adrift in 1833, with literary references to Melville, Dickens and Shakespeare. From the horrors on the high seas to an asylum for the insane, Dark Water explores desire, starvation, greed and amorality, and makes an unmissable contribution to this year’s hunger for all things ‘gothic’.

A compelling combination of gothic mystery, psychological thriller and study of the shifting nature of truth, Dark Water proves worth a 10-year wait. The Sunday Times: Historical Fiction Choice of the Month

Thrillingly vivid… Dark Water is historical fiction with high literaryambitions… The Guardian: Book of the Day

This beautifully written, ambitious exploration of humanmotivation, lies, violence and the will to survive is terrific. Exciting, spiked with high gothic and clever characterisation, it chips away at our notions of insanity. Daily Mail
