A review by biblio_lore
Anno Dracula by Kim Newman

5.0

This is a book for bibliophiles who like vampires books. It's crowded with different characters from both fiction and history and equal parts fantastically funny and utterly brutal. A fine tribute to Stoker's novel and absolutely fun. If I have really any quibble with it, the business with Jack the Ripper is resolved in a manner that feels a bit too rushed but it's forgivable and though you know who the ripper is from the introduction, it can still keep you reading to find out where things will go next. The novel ends on such a high note, you practically have to read the rest of them. The characters are well drawn out, the story is well paced and it was really a delightful read. Highly recommended!
