	Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite its important contributions to the vampire myth, several popular tropes are absent: for instance, Count Dracula is killed by knives, not a wooden stake; the destruction of the vampire Lucy is a three-part process (staking, decapitation, and garlic in the mouth) not the simple stake-only procedure often found in later vampire stories.
		Dracula may also be viewed as a novel about the struggle between tradition and modernity at the fin de siècle.
		Dracula (or at least his portrayal by Bela Lugosi) is the basis for the Muppet character named Count von Count on Sesame Street.

		Kim Newman's "Anno Dracula" has one of the most audacious plots imaginable -- let's assume that Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was non-fiction, and that Dracula defeated his nemesis, Van Helsing.
		Newman packs "Anno Dracula" with action, unlike other "alternate vampire histories" (granted, a limited genre) like Brian Stableford's "Empire of Fear." Beauregard's prowess with a sword is easy to grasp, but Genevieve, an "elder" vampire even more ancient and powerful than Dracula, has powers far beyond the grasp of even other vampires.
		Dracula opens up a reign of terror reminiscent of a medieval monarchy, yet still filled with traditional British Vicotrian attitudes.

	Anno Dracula: The Background
		Yet Stoker allegorises Dracula's assault on Britain entirely as an attack on the Victorian family, an emblem of all the things he prized and saw as fragile.
		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.
		Stoker's Dracula is already an alternate world story, set in a timeline where social and mechanical progress advanced slightly faster than in our own, and where certain givens of London geography are altered (his London boasts a Kingstead Cemetery in the region of Hampstead Heath, presumably corresponding to our own Highgate Cemetery).

		Van Helsing's head adorns a stake outside Buckingham Palace along with those of other enemies of the realm; and Dracula being who he is (Vlad Tepes, 'the Impaler'), sometimes it's not just the head that goes on a stake.
		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.

	The Edge book reviews Anno Dracula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		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 given, the late-Victorian Britain of critic and novelist Kim Newman is one reigned by the less than beloved Queen Victoria, at her side a decadent and brutal vampiric Prince Consort.
		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.

	Coppola's Dracula - a novella by by Kim Newman
		As an outpost of civilisation in a savage land, it was ugly and ineffective.
		She understood Dracula had left Transylvania in the first place not merely because he - the great dark sponge - had sucked it dry, but because even he was bored with ruling over gypsies, wolves and mountain streams.
		As, quietly, she planned her escape from the prison and from the country, she tried to imagine where the 'Son of Dracula' was, to conceive of the life he was living in America, to count the used-up husks left in his wake.

	Count Dracula and Vlad the Impaler
		This is from the Introduction I wrote for the novel Lord of the Vampires by Jeanne Kalogridis (1997), the third in her trilogy "The Diaries of the Family Dracul".
		While there is ample evidence that he himself used the sobriquet "Dracula" (or variations thereof) and was referred to as such in several 15th and 16th century sources, many Romanian historians still insist on using the name "Tepes" (meaning "Impaler"), a hardly flattering nickname first assigned to him by Turkish chroniclers.
		That association is clearly the result of the fact that Bram Stoker decided to appropriate the name "Dracula" for his villainous Count - much to the chagrin of many Romanians who see the novel as a denigration of one of their national heroes.

		Of course, one of the fun things about reading an "Anno Dracula" novel is identifying all the characters, both historical and fictional, who make their appearance throughout the novel.
