"Anno Dracula", by Kim Newman
Thanks to James for the first entry, as he thrust Anno Dracula upon me a few weeks back. Took me a while to brave it, being a hefty 461 pages long, but once I did I was hooked from the first.Set in an alternative London where Dracula has married Queen Victoria, and the streets are populated with such people as Lestrade, Raffles and Dr Jekyll; Jack the Ripper is murdering a series of vampire prostitutes, and it's down to Charles Beauregard, a member of the Diogenes Club, and Geneveive, a vampire older than Dracula himself to untangle the gory mystery.
A book to really get your teeth into...

It's blimmin' marvellous. And there's two more, and some short stories...
Hacing two blogs is really just showing off. James got two agents, you had to get two blogs.
Where will it end?
In madness and tears, that's where!
(maybe just my own, but still...)
