Anno Dracula

Anno Dracula
- Used Book in Good Condition
"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." -Â 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." -Â Time Out

â€œStephen 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 themâ€¦Â Anno DraculaÂ is the definitive account of that post-modern species, the self-obsessed undead.â€ -Â New York Times

â€œAnno DraculaÂ will leave you breathless... one of the most creative novels of the year.â€ -Â Seattle Times

â€œPowerful... compelling entertainment... a fiendishly clever banquet of dark treats.â€ -Â San Francisco Chronicle

'A ripping yarn, an adventure romp of the best blood, and a satisfyingâ€¦ read' -Â Washington Post Book World

"The most comprehensive, brilliant, dazzlingly audacious vampire novel to date. 'Ultimate' seems an apt description...Â Anno Dracula is at once playful, horrific, intelligent, and revelatory." -Â LocusÂ

"A marvelous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic horror, and alternative history. Not to be missed." -Â The IndependentÂ

"Once you start reading this Victorian-era thriller, you will not beÂ satiated until you reach the end." -Â Ain't It Cool

"Anno Dracula is the smart, hip Year Zero of the vampire genre's ongoingÂ revolution." -Â 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." -Â Christopher FowlerÂ Â Â
Â "The most interesting take on the Dracula story... to date. Recommending this one to all those that love Dracula and historical fiction!" -Â RexRobotReviews
