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
