DARK WATER

Product Information

With this story? I didn’t. Instead, I felt completely immersed each time I opened a chapter and resumed reading. After an eventful and nightmarish stint as ship’s doctor on the USS Orbis, Carver’s path crosses again with that of the legendary sailor William Borden. This time though they are psychiatrist and patient in an asylum. Dark Water' is a powerful, nineteenth century gothic novel that draws parallels between the deepest, darkest oceans and the depths of the human mind. We follow affluent and privileged Bostonian Dr Haram Carver, as he boards the USS Orbis where he is to become assistant surgeon. On his voyage he encounters William Borden, a member of the ships crew. They then go on to meet years later when Borden is admitted to a mental asylum and is under the care of Carver who resolves to try to cure his acquaintances madness. But this book was way too much better than the first one: it was smart, entertaining, surprising, gripping, adventurous and remarkable. So if I could give five and half stars or six solid stars to that book, I would give it without thinking a second. Sinister occurrences seem to confirm our characters' fears: someone or something is set on stopping the ship from reaching its destination.

Toward the ending things take a chaotic turn. There are a few twists, most of which I'd predicted (not bragging, I have merely read enough mystery novels to know how certain stories will unfold). The novel's main twist was painfully clichéd and made very little sense (it was obsolete). Dark Waters (2019)". Rotten Tomatoes. Fandango. Archived from the original on April 2, 2020 . Retrieved June 1, 2020.This didn't quite tip over into a 5-star book for me because in places it feels a bit too long and could have been tautened up. Also, as C21st readers we're less innocent than the C19th characters and so the central revelations were unsurprising to me, slightly anti-climactic. And I loved the way she found ways to work around the patriarchy that governed every moment of her life. Though it is Hiram Carver who leads us through the novel’s intriguing plot, it is perhaps William Borden who most attracts the reader’s attention. Like Carver, we are caught between his strangeness and charm, and we remain enthralled to the enduring mystery of what really happened on that small dinghy cast adrift in the Pacific. Arent and Sara were similarly 'good'. Unlike most other people on the boat they do not approve of the

Dark Water, however, also references what I would call the “asylum Gothic”, made popular in Victorian ‘sensation fiction’ and reprised in contemporary novels (Alison Littlewood’s recent The Crow Garden comes to mind).

I love a period setting and being on a boat at sea in the 1600s staring down the barrel of many months of journeying with murderous characters on board made for a fun read heading into the spooky season 🙃Throughout the journey, the ship is haunted by what seems to be a devil and it’s up to Arent to solve the mystery. Then William Borden went mad. Hiram returned to the shores and became a psychiatrist. Borden was sent to be admitted as a patient into Hiram's ward. Hiram ventured to find the cause of Borden's madness; to save his fallen hero from himself; to "save" the (attractive) fiancée still awaiting Borden's return; and, just maybe - to claim to the world that he, Hiram Carver, had done the impossible and saved a hero and found the panacea for all human madness. As with The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, The Devil and the Dark Water is a complex and suspenseful mystery.

Dark Water feels like a classic novel – despite being a (historic) contemporary debut. Like it could have been released many, many years ago. Not because it is literally set over a century ago, but because of its strength. Its lasting impact. And I think the story itself can stand alone as its own classic, regardless of its imminent debut.

Electrified" Written by Mike Gallagher and Marc Ferrari Performed by Mike Gallagher Courtesy of Marc Ferrari/MasterSource Gosh, this book was dark in places. It also made me feel quite claustrophobic at times which I think was more to do with the wonderful language used more than the actual story at times. It was also a book that could be read on several levels. This first read of mine had me wanting to get to the end more than stopping and "smelling the roses" so to speak. If I re-read, and I fully intend to do so even though it is not something I usually do, I will definitely be taking my time and savouring the journey. It was also, for me anyway, quite a visual book for the most part. I don't always manage to "see" what I am reading but her the images conjured up in my head were quite vivid and indeed visceral at times and I think this also helped with my overall enjoyment of the book. It definitely brought the wonderfully crafted characters to life. By their names you shall know them. It is immediately obvious, to a reader of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, that a man called Edward Fairfax Vere will be nobly inclined and that one called Claggart is likely to be a brute. So, though the real world is doubtless full of charming people with the surname Carver, in fiction – especially in a book as artfully contrived as Elizabeth Lowry’s Melville-influenced second novel – such a tag carries inescapable associations with knives cutting into flesh.Venetia Porter, formerly Senior Curator for Islamic and Modern Middle Eastern art,the British Museum Now, I will come away (briefly) from my thoughts on the structure of the book, and talk a little about its narrative.

It is this possibility, this potential for chaos which Lowry harnesses so well in the novel, and which gives the story its gothic aspect. The image of the sea evokes this vast, nameless fear: full is the suggestion that malevolent shapes lurk not only beneath the waves, but appear on dry land, too. It is in Carver’s attempts to understand Borden, and indeed to comprehend his own instinctual need for the man, that we slowly become aware of the base hungers that lie coiled within both characters. There is the torture of the unknown, whether it be at sea or in the bottomless reaches of the mind, and the greater torment of being so wholly attracted to it.
