 Kim Stanley Robinson interviewed - infinity plus non-fiction
KSR: I encountered Aldiss himself at a recent convention and he described the story of his Mars novel to me, and it sounded unlike my novel, and unlikely to be a response to my novel, as I do not think he has read my work.
Kim Stanley Robinson is one of SF's most acclaimed authors, and with good reason.
KSR: Well, it began as a companion volume or miscellany, of stories that could not fit into the novel because they concerned different histories for Mars, or did not fit tonally or in other ways.

 Kim Newman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kim Newman (born July 31, 1959) is an English journalist, film critic, and fiction writer.
Newman's first published novel was The Night Mayor (1989), set in a virtual reality based on old black-and-white detective movies.
The novel is set in 1888, during Jack the Ripper's killing spree — but a different 1888 to the one we know, in which Dracula succeeded in becoming the ruler of England.

 Kim Newman Bibliography
An expert on horror and sci-fi cinema (his books of film criticism include Nightmare Movies and Millennium Movies), Kim Newman's novels draw promiscuously on the tropes of horror, sci-fi and fantasy.
His pseudonymous novels, as Jack Yeovil, play elegant games with genre cliche--perhaps the best of these is the sword-and-sorcery novel Drachenfels which takes the prescribed formulae of the games company to whose bible it was written and make them over entirely into a Kim Newman novel.
Life's Lottery, his most mainstream novel, consists of multiple choice fragments which enable readers to choose the hero's fate and take him into horror, crime and sf storylines or into mundane reality.

 Kim Newman:  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.
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's crop of vampires is brought into the mystery almost immediately as journalist cum vampire Kate Reed witnesses the double murder of Count Karnassy and his "niece," Malinka within hours of their arrival in Rome.
