What mysterious urge drove the super-talented, hyper-sensitive Bohemian young Irish poet Robert Baxter from the troubled security of home in County Antrim to a remote, windswept island in the North Sea? What cruel twist of fate led his tragically-beautiful, tempestuous Dutch partner to an early, bloody death? In this, his first full-length piece of fiction, Northern Irish poet Gary Allen explodes onto the European novel scene. With Cillin's brooding melancholy as wild as the dune-fringed wasteland shoreline it traverses, and skulking truths as mysterious as the cloaked narrator who recounts this haunting tale, Allen has quite simply produced a piece of post-modernist literature that will surely endure as a classic.
