Review:
'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
'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
'Bloody excellent. Kim Newman has exsanguinated the best of fact and fiction and created a vivid vampirous Victorian world uniquely his own. This clever, delicious extravaganza - Hammer horror meets True (Blue) Blood - is just the tonic for the year of a Royal Wedding.' --Stephen Volk
'Anno Dracula is the smart, hip Year Zero of the vampire genre's ongoing revolution.' --Paul McAuley
'A marvellous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic horror and alternative history. Not to be missed.' --The Independent'
'A brilliantly witty parallel-world saga... builds sure-footedly to bravura climax which entirely redefines "Victorian values"' --Daily Telegraph
'A tour de force which succeeds brilliantly' --The Times
