Publisher's Synopsis
American Psycho meets High Fidelity in this controversial, edgy book so channel your inner anger and prepare for boundaries to be crossed. Darker With The Day is a twisted love story of murder, music, sex and violence in what has been described as a very pop culture friendly style laced with black humour. The book tells the story of loner oddball Lee Shelton who upon moving to the big city soon finds his life entering what seems to be a hopeless downward spiral. Just as everything appears to be hitting rock bottom he meets a girl who not only saves him from despair but also empowers him. It soon becomes apparent that the two of them share a deep hatred for the modern world they find themselves in, which sets them off on a dangerous path of violence and revenge as they decide to strike back. As guidelines are drawn up and their lust for killing takes hold they soon find their hopes of making statements and examples of their victims a far more difficult task than they ever imagined. The debut novel from Mark Vernon, Darker With The Day is a new edition to the great Transgressive fiction tradition of Bret Easton Ellis, Irvine Wesh and John Nevin in classic books like American Psycho, Trainspotting and Kill Your Friends
