In this world, instead of being driven back to Transylvania by Jonathan Harker, Abraham Van Helsing, and co., Dracula kills or turns Stoker’s protagonists, marries Queen Victoria, and brings vampires out of hiding. The alt-history aspect comes with a change to Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula. It’s like Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but with vampires. The world of Anno Dracula is a cross between alternate-history and literary/pop-culture mega-crossover. So, what's the subject of today's review? One of my recent favorites, the second entry in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula series, The Bloody Red Baron (Anno Dracula 1918), and the novella attached to the new edition, Vampire Romance (Anno Dracula 1923).Ī little background before I delve into these wonderful pieces of processed wood-pulp and ink. But I'm back, at least for a little while. I've been trying to focus on editing my novel, and been in a bit of a funk.
