A haunting literary novel of isolation, addiction, and the search for meaning -- set against the grey tides of Hastings Old Town.

William "Bill" Eckersley is an unemployed writer, a night swimmer, and a man drowning in alcohol and self-doubt. Trapped in a crumbling seaside town -- and within his own mind -- he spirals as he searches for creative inspiration and a way out of his own inertia.

His solitary existence begins to unravel, pulling him into an increasingly disorienting world shaped as much by memory and imagination as reality.

If you enjoy dark, introspective fiction with flawed, deeply human characters, The Night Swimmer is for you.

Themes: addiction, mental health, creativity, the sea, solitude, the artist's mind
Perfect for fans of: Jon McGregor, Patrick McGrath, Rachel Cusk, or early Ian McEwan.
