Dead Europe by Christos Tsiolkas
A young Australian photographer of Greek heritage undertakes a journey across Europe that begins as an artistic pilgrimage and family homecoming but spirals into a nightmarish confrontation with the continent’s decaying morals and haunted past. Interweaving his travels with a grim ancestral tale from a Greek village, the story exposes lingering antisemitism, xenophobia, and the corrosive legacies of war and myth. As he plunges into underground worlds of sex and exploitation, he becomes entangled with an old curse and a vengeful spirit, blurring the line between witness and possession, and forcing a reckoning with inherited guilt and the seductive violence of history.
