	Review \| Seven Stars by Kim Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Newman's world is created by mingling history, fictional history and the history of fiction.
		In reintroducing and mingling these elements, Newman also addresses the political and social dynamics behind the emergence of the fictions that he has made his playthings and firmly grounds them in the eras that produced them.
		Kim Newman is a generous storyteller whose love of fiction is delightfully infectious.

	Vampire library of Darkness : Anno-Dracula, Kim Newman
		On this intriguing, but inescapably silly, conceit, Newman (Jago) bases his exercise in historical horror fiction, previously published in the U.K. In England, circa 1888, "turning" vampire is all the rage: such luminaries as Oscar Wilde, Inspector Lestrade, Sherlock Holmes's collaborator, and the Queen herself have embraced vampirism.
		Newman's meticulous attention to historical detail occasionally seems superfluous in a work of such unabashed fantasy, but his prose is sure-handed and vivid, especially in Seward's diary entries, which, free of the welter of Victorian trivia, are truly engrossing.
		Newman goes over the top in every novel (Night Mayor, Bad Dreams, Jago), each featuring a monstrous overlord of horror unlikely to be dethroned--but this time he leaps to new heights, drawing the Dracula novel that sets a benchmark for vampire fiction.

	Kim Newman Dracula Cha Cha Cha Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		Kim Newman, in his 'Anno Dracula' novels, uses an amazing amount of research to write an alternate history populated with vivid, visceral, vampires and carefully created characters based on personalities from both reality and fiction.
		In 'Judgement of Tears', Newman joins the everlasting party in 1959, as vampire journalist Kate Reed is sent to Rome to cover the upcoming marriage of Dracula to a Moldavian vampire princess.
		Newman is reportedly headed in that direction with his upcoming novel now titled 'Life's Lottery'.

	Amazon.com: Books: Anno Dracula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Kim Newman suspects that most of us live with them.
		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's Victorian England is populated by vampires and "warm" humans, and there is little shame in being a vampire.

	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.
		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.
		At the same time, nothing that Newman explicitly does would close off the possibility of further stories in the cycle and, in fact, the aforementioned "Coppola's Dracula" is set in a later period.

	DarkEcho/HorrorOnline: Kim Newman (1999)
		Kim Newman -- with his long hair, mustache and mutton chop sideburns --could have been the model for Gary Oldman's portrayal of the title character in the film BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA.
		Born in London, Newman was raised in Somerset and, after studying English at the University of Sussex, moved back to London where he mucked about in theatre and cabaret before establishing himself as a film/literary critic and author.
		Newman's most recent novel is LIFE'S LOTTERY in which he experiments with an adult "choose your own adventure" where readers can explore many possible lives of the protagonist.

	Review \| Unforgivable Stories by Kim Newman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One great appeal of Newman's metafictional and metahistorical explorations is his ability and compulsion to expose the often ignored political and ethical implications of well-known stories.
		Newman's stories compel readers to ask themselves these questions and ponder their ambiguous answers.
		Another of Newman's strengths is that, even if readers are unfamiliar with his source material, he makes the stories work within their own context.

		It's tempting to call Newman a jack-of-all-trades, but it would be damning with faint praise because he manages to master everything he does.
		Newman is probably best known as a horror writer, but as the following interview suggests, that label is not entirely appropriate nor does it do his work justice.
		Film reviews by Newman can be found on a regular basis in Empire and Sight and Sound, and his most recent book on film is Cat People, published by the BFI.

		Newman (The Night Mayor) pits his spirited heroine against this fiend in several brutal, shocking and tense encounters.
		Newman doesn't completely abandon his tendency to use real people and events in this book -- he delves heavily into the spectre of the McCarthy anti-communism hearings and Marlon Brando and Martin Landau both make appearances of a sort, but for the most part this story is very much of his own creation.
		Kim Newman trivia: this book may be unique among Newman's novels in that - as far as I can tell - it's the _only_ one in which the characters are all his own creations.

		No prior introduction to the setting of Newman's 'Anno-Dracula' series is needed in order to quickly absorb this political drama, set in an alternate universe when vampires wage war against the living.
