Review Quote | "Gripping… superbly researched… Newman's rich novel rises above genre… A superior sequel to Anno Dracula." –Kirkus Reviews "Groundbreaking fantasy." –MTV Geek Preview "I couldn't praise Kim Newman's epic vampire novel Anno Dracula enough when I reviewed Titan's new edition last year. Thankfully Titan is giving the same royal treatment to the other books in the series." –Dread Central "My favorite part of the book was in the new material. Included in this new edition is a brand new novella, Anno Dracula 1923: Vampire Romance…Imagine if Downton Abbey met Dark shadows as directed by Quentin Tarantino, and you ll be close to the reading experience." –Fantasy Matters "Kim Newman's alternate history Anno Dracula was one of the most bracing alternate histories of its time, as well as one of the coolest vampire stories." –i09.com "The Bloody Red Baron is a stunning addition to the tightly written, and researched, alternate timeline universe of Anno Dracula, with compelling characters, plenty of intrigue, and not just a little smattering of blood and guts." –Battle Royale with Cheese "Once again we enter into the almost dizzying tour-de-force of imagination that is the Anno Dracula series." –vampires.com "It is one of things that sets Newman apart as a writer that he can mesh reality and fantasy so easily together." –Bad Haven "This book was a fantastic read. It s gritty and visceral some of the scenes had me actually tensing with fear. This is the kind of prose that draws you in and gives you the ability to see what you re reading. And it s a frightening world in there. I will certainly be reading the next book in the series." –Affairs Magazine "Smart, clever, compulsive reads that no true horror or vampire enthusiast should overlook." –Ravenous Monster "This is an entertaining read, written by a fan for fans of popular fiction, particularly mystery and horror… the final chapter is extremely affecting, as devastating events of the First World War take their toll on the characters. Recommended for fans of war novels, classic mystery and adventure, history and horror. –We Love This Book Ingenious, outrageous and as-ever thoroughly imaginative, this makes a great little small-scale supplement to the main novel s more panoramic view. This edition is well worth the cover price and comes highly recommended. –Horrorview.com "Kim Newman's The Bloody Red Baron is a great read. The addition of Vampire Romance, the extensive breakdown of influences, and the film treatment, also make this edition fantastic value for money." –One Metal "The sheer lavish creativity of the Anno Dracula books sets them apart from almost any complex fantasy work you ll find on bookstore front tables this summer." –Open Letters Monthly "Kim Newman's The Bloody Red Baron is a great read. The addition of Vampire Romance, the extensive breakdown of influences, and the film treatment, also make this edition fantastic value for money." –One Metal "It s amazing how well Newman manages to weave together vampire lore and myth with history and historical and literary characters. This is an energetic novel, full of big, fun ideas and a real sense of play." –Fandom Post "if you love vampire fiction in any way, you need to own this book." –Dread Central The Bloody Red Baron is alternate history as it should be real and riveting. –Alternative Magazine Online "if you love vampire fiction in any way, you need to own this book." –Dread Central Exceptional paranormal fiction. –Hearts on Fire "if you love vampire fiction in any way, you need to own this book." –Dread Central |
