A Different Approach To Vampire Fiction

Antonia Correlli has lived for 600 years. She's a vampire with special abilities which let her live amongst humans undetected. For the most part.

In 1915 the First World War is raging through Europe and new, frightful weapons bring suffering and pain to the men who fight it. While using her cunning and her magic on a hospital ship in the Mediterranean Antonia discovers mysterious things aboard. And she develops dangerous feelings for her captain. Solving the mystery, she discovers once again that humans can't be trusted and that immortality has its price.

Reviews on amazon.com:
"Although I'm not normally a reader of paranormal novels, Jens Kuhn took a very different approach with The Gripsholm Mystery, and kept my interest fully. The accuracy of the historical sea faring story line is not overpowered by a lot of hocus pocus. Instead, Jens Kuhn adds a sensitive and magical touch to his World War 1 sea adventure. A most enjoyable read and one that crosses the boundaries of fantasy, paranormal and historical fiction very well indeed."

"Fiction/novels are not usually my favorite read. But I must explain why this novel was different. I read a sample teaser on Amazon.com that immediately made me think the main character, Antonia Correlli could be scooped up and placed into just about any era and survive with her special combination of wiles, magic, cunning and empathy for the suffering. It's this last trait that makes the reader forgive her need to feed to retain her strength. "
