Praise for Anno Dracula
"Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate. It
was the first mash-up of literature, history and vampires, and now, in a
world in which vampires are everywhere, it's still the best, and its
bite is just as sharp. Compulsory reading, commentary, and mindgame:
glorious." - Neil Gaiman
"Politics, horror, and romance are woven together in this brilliantly
imagined and realized novel. Newman's prose is a delight, his attention
to detail is spellbinding." - Time Out
"Stephen King assumes we hate vampires; Anne Rice makes it safe to love
them, because they hate themselves. Kim Newman suspects that most of us
live with them... Anno Dracula is the definitive account of that
post-modern species, the self-obsessed undead." - ***New York Times
*"Anno Dracula will leave you breathless... one of the most creative
novels of the year." - ***Seattle Times
"Powerful... compelling entertainment... a fiendishly clever banquet of
dark treats." - ***San Francisco Chronicle
'A ripping yarn, an adventure romp of the best blood, and a
satisfying... read' - Washington Post Book World
"The most comprehensive, brilliant, dazzlingly audacious vampire novel
to date. 'Ultimate' seems an apt description... Anno Dracula is at
once playful, horrific, intelligent, and revelatory." - Locus
"A marvelous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic
horror, and alternative history. Not to be missed." - The
Independent
"Once you start reading this Victorian-era thriller, you will not be
satiated until you reach the end." - Ain't It Cool
"Anno Dracula is the smart, hip Year Zero of the vampire genre's ongoing
revolution." - Paul McAuley
"Kim Newman brings Dracula back home in the granddaddy of all vampire
adventures. Anno Dracula couldn't be more fun if Bram Stoker had
scripted it for Hammer. It's a beautifully constructed Gothic epic that
knocks almost every other vampire novel out for the count." -
Christopher Fowler
"The most interesting take on the Dracula story... to date. Recommending
this one to all those that love Dracula and historical fiction!" -
