Overview Vampyr
The Edvard Munch expert Steffen is in charge of curating a Munch exhibition, when a strange death at the Munch musem sets him on the trail of a dangerous mystery. As Steffen digs deeper, he uncovers a dark secret in the painter's family history.
Vampire is a gothic tale about a possible dark secret behind our greatest painter. It is about betrayal, desperation and sick love, seen through the eyes of a drunken cartoonist and Bohemian.
This book is unlike anything else you’ve ever read. And much better than most of it.
"Bloody and hilarious. Steffen Kverneland’s debut novel is a gothic horror tale about Edvard Munch."
NRK
Bad blood in Bjørvika

En blodig fornøyelse

Vondt blod i Bjørvika 09.12.2016
Alt er teke på kornet av Kverneland, som både har eit unikt blikk for visuelle detaljar, og eit godt øyra for språklege særdrag. (...) Og illustrasjonane er rett og slett fabelaktige.
