	The Wold Newton Universe - The Anno Dracula Character Guide
		Edwin Winthrop and Genevieve Dieudonné are Wold Newton Universe versions of their counterparts in the Anno Dracula Universe (ADU), just as Charles Beauregard is a WNU version of his ADU counterpart in All-Consuming Fire.
		Cunningly, in the Anno Dracula universe, Holmes was in a concentration camp and so cannot have solved this case
		Since Newman put Carl Kolchak in the first ANNO DRACULA book, set in 1888, I decided that Duke would be the substitute reporter that stakes Skorzany in Las Vegas.

	Anno Dracula series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman--named for Anno Dracula (1992), the series' first novel--is a work of fantasy depicting an alternate history in which the heroes of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula fail to stop Count Dracula's conquest of Great Britain, resulting in a world where vampires are common and increasingly dominant in society.
		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.
		Anno Dracula has won the Dracula Society's Children of the Night Award, the Lord Ruthven Assembly's Fiction Award, and the International Horror Guild Award for Best Novel, and was short-listed for the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel.

		Dracula (the "a" on the end of a name means "the son of") was the second born of the next generation.
		Dracula's captors were amused and impressed by the lad's growing ferocity and felt that he would be ideal to serve in his father's place as Prince of Wallachia.
		Dracula's reign of terror had actually commenced during this second "cycle." The Voivode had a good memory and demonstrated that he was not a forgiving person as he executed the boyars who plotted against his father.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Anno Dracula series
		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 successful conquest of England, depicted in Anno Dracula, the first in the series).
		The story's first-person narrator, a private investigator, investigates the death of his ex-wife, found at the bottom of her swimming pool with an iron stake driven through her, and the disappearance of her daughter, last seen falling in with a crowd of vampire cultists.
		Although it is not technically an Anno Dracula story, it occurs before the events of Anno Dracula diverge from those in Dracula, and thus can also be considered a part of the Anno Dracula series.

	Anno Dracula: The Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		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).
		However, vampires live long lifetimes and it was clear that the events of Anno Dracula would resonate well into the 20th Century, which made me think again of the First World War.
		Dracula Cha Cha Cha is the third Anno Dracula novel.

		Although Dracula remains off-page for most of the novel, he is represented by flying ace Manfred von Richthofen, alias the Red Baron, and other blood descendants capable of shapeshifting into airplane-sized bats that engage in aerial combat with their Anglo-vampire counterparts.
		Graf von Dracula is alive and well, seldom seen but never forgotten, and vampires are omnipresent as warriors and diplomats on both sides of the conflict.
		While Graf von Dracula commands the German army and Baron von Richthofen spreads terror in the skies during World War I, a resurrected Edgar Allan Poe is commissioned by the Germans to write a fabulous biography of the Red Baron.

	Amazon.com: Anno-Dracula: Books: Kim Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		While Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's vampire novels are written in first person, Kim Newman avoids giving readers deep emotional connections based on fear of Dracula, which providers a feeling of security for the reader, although it is also a fault of the novel.
		Fans of Dracula, especially those wanting scary thrills like the film versions provide, will be disappointed, that Dracula does not appear until the very end of the novel--oddly something Elizabeth Kostova in The Historian also chose to do, and which makes both novels somewhat anti-climactic and a let down.
		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.

		Though, in 1992, with the publication of Anno Dracula, Kim was well and truly brought to the attention of the public.
		The book's premise is that Dracula did not die, but turned Queen Victoria and much of her royal court and the political elite into vampires, ushering in a society at the end of the 19th Century that is sharply divided between the warm and the Undead.
		The Anno Dracula series has been followed by two books, the World-War II The Bloody Red Baron, and the 1960s Dracula Cha Cha Cha, as well as several short stories.

		With his 500-year lifetime so far, and centuries yet ahead, the character of Dracula has an ever-unfolding biography, to which this 100th-anniversary tribute contributes 33 stories (only 6 of which have been previously published).
		Dracula visits, in these pages, such locales as the Côte d'Azur, the wilds of Oregon, the Los Angeles of Raymond Chandler, communist Eastern Europe, Rome at the dawn of the 21st century (a chilling tale in which he is forced to imitate the Messiah), and the ruins of post-apocalyptic New Jersey.
		This book is a mish mash of recycled and rehashed Dracula Stories (though- not stooping too low as to include Peewee vs Dracula).

	Locus Online: Review by Claude Lalumière
		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.
		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.

	Kim Newman: Judgment of Tears: Anno Dracula 1959
		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.
		No longer as original as it was when he wrote Anno Dracula, Newman is able to keep this series fresh by setting stories in different times and incorporating different aspects of pop culture and reality.
		Not nearly as strong a novel as Anno Dracula, Judgment of Tears works better than The Bloody Red Baron, which had a tendency to mire itself in the strategies and tactics of war.

		Her writing especially shines when, as in that series, she creates exotic and decadent alternate worlds where demons and other supernatural entities thrive.
		The Anno Dracula series, begun in 1992, postulates a world in which Bram Stoker's Dracula really happened, except that, in the end, the sexually potent vampire triumphed over the sexually repressed Victorians.
		His series Where the Bodies Are Buried, juxtaposing slasher cinema with Thatcherism and other right-wing horrors, consists of four stories, collected two apiece -- along with other great stories -- in Famous Monsters (1995) and Seven Stars (2000).

	Vampirica Pseudepigrapha
		Renfield in particular is silenced ultimately in how he is dismissed, both by Bram Stoker, and by his culture, as a mere madman whose perspective is not valuable, and whose life is easily expendable in the service of furthering the plot.
		In particular, Lucas’s tale focuses on how Renfield (in Stoker’s novel) came to change so rapidly from being someone fond of the non-traditional pets he keeps in his cell to becoming someone willing to allow each of his new pets to consume one of the old, and to ultimately consume these animals himself.
		This rendering of Stoker’s novel fits nicely with what some modern critics believe of its authorship: that Dracula is so different in character from Stoker’s other, generally poorly written and forgettable offerings, that it must have actually been written by Stoker after he was entrusted with tidying up a manuscript.

		As one who avoids the modern romanticize vampire genre like Larry Talbot avoids silver-tipped walking sticks, i piked up ANNO DRACULA on reputation and was blown away.
		Vampores are used as a metaphor for victorian social stratification and the novel uses archetypes of the literature of the times (and some from ours) with mad abandon.
		I thought Bloody Red Baron was the weakest of the three with Tears a strong second only to Anno Dracula.

		While the addition of such creatures to a series that had, up to this point, belonged solely to vampires, might raise a few pointed eyebrows, Newman saw it as a natural progression.
		As the series` settings get closer to present times, the idea of a world that has accepted vampires begs the question: Are they still scary.
		There is a problem in the DRACULA 2000 concept, similar to that of the American GODZILLA--which takes place in a universe where there is a real Godzilla but there have never been any Godzilla movies.
