A review by branch_c
Anno Dracula by Kim Newman

3.0

This is certainly not one of those vampire books of the type that's become so popular these days, which ought to be a good thing. And Beauregard and Genevieve are certainly interesting characters. I was less interested in the retold Ripper story though, and that of vampiric London. This seems like the type of book I should like - I do enjoy historical fantasy, even dark fantasy - but the dark stuff here goes over the edge into horror. I'm sure it's tame for those who like that sort of thing, and I give Newman credit for some good parts, but overall I just didn't like it as much as I wanted to.
