The Norseman's Song

An ancient man with no past hails a taxi driven by a petty crim with no future.

Reluctantly, the pair embarks on a journey in search of a legendary whaler and murderer known simply as The Norseman. To guide them they have only a half-remembered sea-farer’s tale, an antique whalebone carved with a snake-like engraving of a Chinese dragon, and a hundred year old journal bound in human skin.

This is a one-way journey — but who is taking who for a ride?

The Norseman’s Song evokes the tradition of Joseph Conrad and Edgar Allan Poe to produce a stylistically brilliant blend of gothic mystery and modern crime noir. In this audacious literary debut, Joel Deane creates a violent and lyrical vision of contemporary Australia with the pace and energy of a road movie and the haunting atmosphere of a nightmare.
