VAMPIRE BOOKS

ANNO DRACULA

The Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman 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.

The series is known for its carefully researched historical settings and the author's use as supporting characters of both historical people and fictional characters of the appropriate period. Neil Gaiman helped develop the series (and was originally going to be its co-author). 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.

The series currently consists of three novels and a number of short stories and novellas. All may be difficult to get hold of.
