Anno Dracula: The Bloody Red Baron

release date: Apr 10, 2012
Anno Dracula: The Bloody Red Baron
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!" - RexRobotReviews -- WAR IS HELL... It is 1918 and Graf von Dracula is commander-in-chief of the armies ofGermany and Austria-Hungary. The War of the Great Powers in Europeis also a war between the living and the undead.

Unforgivable Stories

release date: Jan 01, 2000
Unforgivable Stories
Some things are so wrong that they can never be put right, never atoned for, never let lie. These are unforgivable stories. In this collection, Kim Newman re-opens some of the great closed cases of fantasy and horror fiction, returning us to the worlds of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Edgar Allan Poe, the Victorian Ghost story, and Count Dracula. In each case, these familiar universes are altered, shown in a new, unusual light. Here, we visit a 1960s Britain that is bogged down in a war in Indo-China, an American city that has been home to the four-coloured heroes and villains of generations of comic books, a Paris of Bogart and Bergman and other fantastical archetypes, and a frontier where there''s no law west of Bristol but the gun and the iron horse. Including stories written in collaboration with novelists Eugene Byrne (THiGMOO) and Paul J. McAuley (Fairyland), this collection touches on all the horrors and humours Kim Newman has explored in novels like Anno Dracula, The Quorum and Life''s Lottery. Unforgivable, but also unforgettable ...
