Prepare to look into The Black Pool and see a little part of yourself reflected back'
JAN CARSON, EU Prize for Literature-winning author of The Raptures

'Simultaneously tender, raw, profound, hilarious and horrible, guiding us through a nightmare into beautiful, hard-won wisdom'
LISA MCINERNEY, Women's Prize for Fiction-winning author of The Glorious Heresies

Following an obsessive mind trying (and failing) to find relief, The Black Pool is a gripping thrill-ride through violent, chaotic underworlds. Tracing the roots of an illness through the failures of youth and adolescence and finally back to childhood, it's about all the wrong places where addicts look for transcendence - from work, to relationships, to writing, to anger.
The Black Pool shows what happens when everything falls apart. It shows us rock bottom and the start of the journey to the surface from there. It's a memoir shot full of holes and shocking clarities. Towards the end, it achieves something like serenity - something like recovery.©2025 Tim MacGabhann (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Art & Literature Journalists, Editors & Publishers Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Funny Witty
