Pooks, Ss Vampire’s Disease? (NAPSA)—She died on her wedding day and lived to tell about it—something only a vampire could do? Inspired by true events, Charlotte de ne Guerre’s intriguing new novel “Grave Disorder” (Eschatology) tells the tale of two women who are separated by centuries but joined by one truth. The Baroness Elysia von Eschenbach is a young 17th-cen- tury noblewoman who doesn’t understand the bizarre physical breakdowns that have plagued her. When Elysia absorbs too much sun ; ae and drinks wine, she lapses into a near-death coma at her wedding...only to wake up after her abrupt funeral. In the other tale, Claire Foster, a contemporary American woman, knows she’s not crazy and that her symptoms are not all in her head. But her doctors and her family are struggling to take her condition seriously, not knowing that it could be fatal. Both tales are engaging from the onset and build to a climax that will enlighten readers of the real plight of people who suffer from a disease known as porphyria—the disease that may actually have given birth to the vampire legend. “Grave Disorder” is available at Amazon.com.
