That Dark Remembered Day

Reviews / Votes

Thoughtful and engrossing . . . Much of the fiction peddled as "psychological suspense" weights heavy on the suspense, with the psychology aspect feeling flimsy at best. Not so here -- Kirsty Logan * www.thelist.co.uk * That Dark Remembered Day is one of the most absorbing novels I've read in years. Brilliantly crafted, impeccably researched . . . Written in Vowler's beautifully cadenced, poised style, I was, appropriately, captivated -- Ray Robinson, author of Jawbone Lake A rewarding, if disturbing read * www.literatureworks.org.uk * That Dark Remembered Day is a fine achievement. One vividly imagined and intensely realised scene follows another, each one ratcheting the tension, as we are led back through time, and deeper into Stephen's memories . . . Makes you want to elbow the stranger next to you on the train and say: "Read that. Just read it." -- Anthony McGowan, author of Mortal Coil That Dark Remembered Day is an intense and contemplative novel . . . beautifully written * www.andthenireadabook.blogspot.co.uk * A compelling story about damage done, a touching exploration of the possibility of forgiveness and recovery -- Alison Moore, author of The Lighthouse Tom Vowler is an author to watch out for; a writer, if there is any justice in the world, who is going places -- FRESH BLOOD Author of the Month, * www.crimesquad.com * Intelligent, absorbing and beautifully done -- Carys Bray, author of A Song for Issy Bradley Compelling and beautifully constructed - it deserves to be widely read -- Graham Mort, author of Touch As unsettling as it is minutely imagined, this striking debut novel from Tom Vowler will give serious pause for thought to anyone considering downsizing for a cosy life in the countryside -- Patrick Gale on WHAT LIES WITHIN Taut and compelling, you won't just read this book, you'll devour it -- Alex Preston on WHAT LIES WITHIN Tom Vowler's debut novel is a finely achieved work.
