These pocketbooks, published in 2024 & 2026, respectively, are siblings. They’re companion pieces covering two separate trips I made to Europe. In Ghosts of Ozymandias I write about France, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and England, while Darkness Drops Again covers my most recent trip to Romania, Slovakia, and Poland. Ghosts is pre-2024 election and Darkness is post-election. These slim volumes bookend the transition in America from Biden to Trump and explore similar democratic backsliding in Europe. Cautionary and humorous, travel adventure and political essay, these volumes both entertain and provoke. Now available on Amazon.
