The new novel in the acclaimed alternate history vampire series from Kim Newman.
"Compulsory reading... glorious" Neil Gaiman on Anno Dracula

It is the eve of the new millennium, and the vampire princess Christina Light is throwing a party in Daikaiju Plaza - a building in the shape of a giant mechanical dragon - in Tokyo, attended by the leaders of the worlds of technology, finance, culture and innovation.

After a century overshadowed by the malign presence of Dracula, Christina decrees the inauguration of an Age of Light. The world is connected as never before by technology, and conquests have been made in cyberspace that mark out new nations of the living and the undead.

But the party is crashed by less enlightened souls, intent on ensuring that the brave new world dies before it can come to fruition. The distinguished guests are held hostage by cyberpunk terrorists, yakuza assassins and Transylvanian mercenaries. Vampire schoolgirl Nezumi - sword-wielding agent of the Diogenes Club - finds herself alone, pitted against the world's deadliest creatures. Thrown out of the party, she must fight her way back up through a building that seems designed to destroy her in a thousand ways. Can Nezumi survive past midnight? Can the hopes of a shining world?

Vampires At the Millenium

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

It’s New Year’s Eve, 1999, and Diogenes Club member Richard Jeperson is attending a party being thrown by Christina Light, heiress supreme, in the Bund, Tokyo’s prime vampire territory. Accompanying him is Nezumi, ancient ronin and vampire who looks like a little girl but who is really an accomplished assassin. The Treaty of Light, which granted Christina this territory for 100 years, is expiring with the end of the millenium, and there are many, many forces in the region that want to cause havoc and mayhem at the very least; indeed, this is at least partially why Richard is here…. Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula series has been around for some decades now, and I’m sure that anyone who’s read him will know how they feel about the series; there are always horrifically disgusting events and crazy-nasty methods of killing folks, and all manner of imminent destruction of the universe scenarios going on. I don’t read a lot of horror anymore, but I generally make an exception for Mr. Newman because his stories are *so* over-the-top and often flat-out hilarious. Mainly, though, I enjoy reading his novels because his imagined alternate history (in which Dracula is real and more or less takes over the British Empire in Victorian times, moving forward in time from there) is just so delectable; there’s plenty of scope for just about any “reality” once the reader accepts the basic premise. “Daikaiju” won’t change anybody’s mind about Mr. Newman’s work, but those of us who enjoy it will have a good time with this entry!

The stainless steel rat

Die Hard meets Neuromancer and takes a ride on Godzilla. And mostly everyones a vampire.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love Anno Dracula but really struggled with the last one. Beautifully written, atmospheric, even poetic at times, but dull, really dull, duller than a man called Dulliver Dulles from Dullville. I finished it. I enjoyed it but it never really went anywhere.

This one on the other hand is whatever the opposite of dull is and it is whatever that is right from the start. All the usual genre references are there. Its Die Hard with multifarious vampires, ordinary robots, Kaiju robots and sentient umbrellas (which were the best bit of the last one).
If it was an engine and had cylinders it would fire on all of them and then use nanotechnology to make more cylinders and fire on them too. Did I mention it is more than a bit Cyberpunk as well though to its credit it doesnt try to shoehorn in the LOAS. God I hated them. Never could work out why Voudon Gods were in the slightest bit interested in the internet.
Any read this. Its fab and I officially forgive it's foppish author for using tricksy wiles of "spellbinding writing" to force me to read the last one to the bitter end.

hooray !!!

There was a dip in quality for me in the Anno Dracula books but we’re firmly back on track now with an excellent foray into the Japanese vampire and monster world.

As usual you are entertained by the story whilst your geek brain is working overtime on all the casual references to other fictions such as Buffy and Captain Scarlet.

Hugely entertaining.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have read the other books in the series and thought this was the poorest. It was all a bit hectic for me and not very enjoyable.
At some chapters I inwardly groaned when I realised which of the characters would be featured in it.
Probably wont buy any more of the Anno Dracula series - if there are t be any -, but will re-read the first two books,

Most interesting end of century party ever.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

Another wonderful Anno Dracula book with the usual blend of interesting characters (some old friends, some new), fast paced action, and positively infernal plot twists. I loved every moment of it and just to crown it all there are plenty of plot lines open at the end promising more fun to come.

My Review

Die Hard with vampires

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Yes, it really is as good as the headline suggests. I thought a few too many characters were being introduced during too short a space at the beginning and worried it may have become difficult to keep track of who was who but enough time is spent on each person at the right moment. The book then goes on to be a lot of fun as the series comes ever closer to the modern day.
