Underground

By the firelight, a mysterious storyteller weaves a captivating tale of sea journeys, vampire women, and Aboriginal Dreaming. Around the campfire the gold diggers listen and journey with George as he plunges underground to rescue his ship&apos;s captain from the horrific and mesmerising vampire woman.<br /> <br />Jangamuttuk, the Master of the Ghost Dreaming, sends his son, George, to rescue Wadawaka from the &apos;ghost&apos; vampire woman who has taken him as her &apos;Dark Lord&apos; and imprisoned him in her underground kingdom. Will George, in either his human form or as his Dreaming animal-self Dingo, be able to withstand Amelia&apos;s powers; will he survive the underground caverns; can he tear Wadawaka and himself from the violent but seductive power of the vampire woman? And who is the strange but familiar ghost woman accompanying the new colonial governor?<br /> <br />Underground is the 3rd in the Master of The Ghost Dreaming quartet, beautifully and insistently portrays the enduring reality of Aboriginal Dreaming in a fascinating story of initiation, maternal longing, and colonial violence.
