Isaac, a young Australian photographer, is travelling through Europe. His whole life he has longed for the sophistication and wealth of the Europe 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.Dead Europe is an unsettling ghost story about blood lust, blood libel, and blood revenge."...confronting, challenging and impossible to put down...If you're tired of the comforting, tidy views of most contemporary fiction, you can't go past Dead Europe. In a word, it's deadly." -Sally Blakeney, The Bulletin
