What is Horizontal Rain about?

'Eschews the film flam of the usual suspects in new and exciting ways...ice cool and ultimately modern...it literally pings with electricity. ' - Lee Rourke‘Horizontal Rain is a disquieting philosophical dispatch from a phase of life many will recognise but prefer to forget; a study in male abjection on the booze-soaked margins...against a wider societal context of entropy and frustration’- Rob Doyle‘...this vivid portrait of romantic misadventure and male friendship is full of melancholy insights into the state of modern masculinity. Occasionally, it reads like a Glaswegian “Book of Disquiet”’- Jude Cook, his ‘Book of 2020’ in Review 31Set in Glasgow 2015. A man suddenly finds himself alone, but not for long. Soon his attention is consumed by another woman - sublime, inspired, unknowable - and different, he feels, from those who came before her. His friend, arrogant and unencumbered, taunts him as they drift aimlessly from one hangover to the next amidst a landscape of uniform grey, pulsating lights and insipid rain. Between querulous despondency and abject nihilism - an attempt to capture the disquiet of the decade just past, striking at the heart of a contagious male despair.
