Description
'Dead Europe' is an unsettling ghost story ahout blood lust, blood libel and blood revenge, a novel of blazing brilliance about the truths and lies of mythology and history. Isaac a young Australian photographer, is travelling through Europe. His whole life he longed for the sophistication and wealth of his father's stories, the Europe at the centre of civilisation and culture. But behind the facade of a unified and globalised contemporary society, he finds a history-blasted wasteland, a place forever condemned by the ghosts of its unspeakable past. In the mountain village where his mother was born, he unearths ancient terrors that have not been laid to rest, and perhaps never can be.
