| | Anno-Dracula series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Another interesting aspect of the series is that while Dracula is a central figure in the events of the series he is a minor character in the books themselves and usually appears in only a few climactic pages of each book. | | | Published in the anthology Dracula in London, this story features an untold tale of Dracula's deeds during the events of the original novel. | | | The Anno-Dracula series by Kim Newman is a work of fantasy depicting an alternate history in which vampires are a common and more-or-less accepted part of society (as a result of Dracula's reign in England, depicted in Anno-Dracula, the first in the series). |

| | Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Dracula (or at least his portrayal by Bela Lugosi) is the basis for the Muppet character named Count von Count on Sesame Street. | | | There is a notable encounter between Dracula and Seward's patient Renfield, an insane man who means to consume insects, spiders, and birds, and other creatures — in ascending order of size — in order to absorb their "life force". | | | Count Dracula is a fictional character, unarguably the most famous vampire in literature. |

| | Anno Dracula: The Background |
| | I decided that if Dracula were to replace Prince Albert as Victoria's consort, then all the other vampires of literature would come out of hiding and flock to his court in the hope of advancement. | | | My original vision of the story was to reach a world-changing climax in a fantastical version of WWI, influenced by the Victorian imaginary war stories and fond recollections of W.E. Johns's children's books about the fighter pilot Biggles (I was a devotee as a boy). | | | Though I no longer wanted to present the story in a trilogy, I realised early on that there was enough in the world to merit return visits. |

| | Dracula picks up a volume of the poetry of Robert Browning. | | | Ceausescu harped at length about the dark, terrible days of the past when Dracula and his kind preyed on the warm of Romania to prevent his loyal subjects from considering the dark, terrible days of the present when he and his wife lorded over the country like especially corrupt Roman Emperors. | | | Dracula was running true to form, sucking him dry. |

| | In all actuality, Anno Dracula isn't alternate history--it's alternate fiction, because Newman's stepping off point from the norm isn't in any history book, but Bram Stoker's Dracula (in fact, on page 249 of Leonard Wolf's annotated edition, recently updated as The Essential Dracula). | | | However, they appear to be out of print, and 'Anno Dracula' was only available through Amazon's (excellent) second hand book sales facility. | | | This is really the dark fantasy version of Moore's heroic graphic novel, and anyone who enjoys either 1) alternative history, 2) vampire novels, or 3) dark fantasy will adore this book and never let their copy out of their greedy reading hands. |

| | But what seems to have attracted Stoker was a footnote in which Wilkinson states that "Dracula in Wallachian language means Devil." Stoker supplemented this with scraps of Romanian history from other sources (which he carefully listed in his notes) and fleshed out a history for his Count Dracula. | | | This has led some to conclude that Stoker's physical description of Count Dracula is actually based on this portrait of Vlad. | | | For a much more detailed (and fully documented) version of this argument, see Chapter 1 of my book Reflections on Dracula, my essay in Dracula: The Shade and the Shadow, or a full section of my book Dracula: Sense & Nonsense. |

| | Kim Newman: Judgment of Tears: Anno Dracula 1959 |
| | With a detour to write a short story set in the universe, "Coppola's Dracula," Newman has now written the third "Anno Dracula" novel, Judgment of Tears: Anno Dracula 1959. | | | Newman openly bases the novel on Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita, which provides him with a wonderfully decadent background for the intrigues of his undead and human characters. | | | Judgment of Tears looks at the events leading up to Dracula's 1959 marriage to Asa Vajda in Rome. |

| | Although reading the entire Anno Dracula canon gives a greater sense of history, each installment is written to stand on its own, each telling a complete story and having discrete concerns that are explored and resolved within each respective text. | | | This series is an alternate history diverging from the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula. | | | Newman has also written some Anno Dracula short fiction, most of which takes place after the third novel; these stories are supposed to be collected in the forthcoming (but as yet unscheduled) Johnny Alucard. |

| | In this version of the tale, the victorious vampire Count marries the widowed Queen Victoria and begins a steady repopulation of London with his own kind. | | | Newman's list of sources is extensive and shows he's also done his reading in the books of the period. | | | Anno Dracula is also a political fable: about the way that the ruling classes are no longer just in better positions than the rest of the people, but have become in some way different. |

| | One accomplishment both of these early horror novels share, however, is to have sparked the clever imagination of postmodernist neo-pulpster Kim Newman, as evidenced by his (so far) three Anno Dracula novels and his new collection of linked stories, Seven Stars. | | | His published criticism can be found on his Web site. | | | Readers of the Sherlock Holmes stories will, with this reference to Mycroft Holmes' famous private club, note that Newman takes considerable enjoyment from mixing and twisting his literary influences. |

| | The Edge book reviews Anno Dracula |
| | Given the whole of the country for the taking, it is somewhat inconceivable that Count Dracula would have greeted his arrival from foreign climes by preying upon the occasional solicitor's wife. | | | This despite a finale - the inevitable confrontation with the Prince of Darkness himself - that is a little too hurried and baroque to sit comfortably with the remainder. | | | That aside, and as much for its obvious love and respect of the source material as its gleeful measures of wit, ingenuity, and splatterpunk sadism, Anno Dracula is rightly deserving of a place amongst the highest of vampire literati. |

| | Anno Dracula risulta così un romanzo avvincente, un viaggio in un mondo artificioso di quelli capaci di fartene sentire gli odori, popolato di personaggi ricchi, sensuali o terribili, eroici o abietti. | | | L’elenco è interminabile e mentre alcune citazioni sono ben manifeste, altre appaiono molto più velate: alcuni personaggi non hanno un nome, atri vengono indicati solo con un soprannome, senza però che la loro origine sfugga a un occhio esperto. | | | E, ovviamente, alcuni personaggi del romanzo di Dracula (nonchè la signora Stoker stessa). |
