Comedian and travel writer Dom Joly takes readers on a wickedly funny journey to the world's most unusual and macabre destinations. From the tunnels beneath Sarajevo to the radiation-soaked ruins of Chernobyl, he explores the darker side of tourism with his trademark wit and irreverence.
Part travelogue, part comedy memoir, this book delves into humanity's fascination with disaster, death, and the morbid. Joly's sharp observations and self-deprecating humour transform potentially grim subject matter into an entertaining exploration of why we're drawn to places associated with tragedy and conflict. It's an offbeat, thought-provoking read that questions our motivations as travellers whilst delivering plenty of laughs along the way.
