Overview

Fallen from grace and driven from the British Empire in previous instalments, Dracula seems long gone. A relic of the past. Yet, when vampire boy Johnny Alucard descends upon America, stalking the streets of New York and Hollywood, haunting the lives of the rich and famous, from Sid and Nancy to Andy Warhol, Orson Welles, and Francis Ford Coppola, sinking his fangs ever deeper into the zeitgeist of 1980s America, it seems the past might not be dead after all.

Anno Dracula: Johnny Alucard is a rollicking ride through the pop culture of 1976-1991, as Kim Newman cleverly twists and turns the events of those fifteen years to fit his vampiric narrative. - Criminal Element I highly suggest picking up this book. 9/10 - Horror News Network A dream come true for long-time fans of the Anno Dracula series - Open Letters Monthly This is yet another must read book from an accomplished author, don't let it pass you by. - Pop Cults Recommended for literate horror fans who wants something cleverer than the latest True Blood or Twilight book.

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. -- The New York Times Compulsory reading...Glorious - Neil Gaiman A brilliantly witty parallel-world saga... builds sure-footedly to bravura climax which entirely redefines 'Victorian values' -- Daily Telegraph Anno Dracula will leave you breathless... one of the most creative novels of the year. -- Seattle Times Politics, horror and romance are woven together in this brilliantly imagined and realised novel. Newman's prose is a delight, his attention to detail spellbinding -- Time Out A tour de force which succeeds brilliantly -- The Times A marvellous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic horror and alternative history. Not to be missed. -- The Independent 'A ripping yarn, an adventure romp of the best blood, and a satisfying... read' - Washington Post Book World 'Powerful... compelling entertainment... a fiendishly clever banquet of dark treats' - San Francisco Chronicle 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... Newman's prose will remain gloriously unique. -- Locus 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 Roya
