Anno Dracula: Johnny Alucard by Kim Newman

lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No

Dracula goes to Hollywood. The fourth instalment of Kim Newman's 'Anno Dracula' series, this one seems to have been written over about ten years and is a little more disjointed; it reads more like a series of interlinked novellas. Still, Newman's trademark profusion of references remains, and will hopefully delight film buffs (I am not one, so many many refs were doubtless lost on me). The book has got an endearing and boisterous B-movie energy to it that made it very enjoyable.
