![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stephen Jones, 1991), Anno Dracula (first published in 1992) and its following tomes are a series of sequels to Stoker’s classic novel. Grown from a short tale Red Reign in The Mammoth Book of Vampires (ed. Especially considering that in recent years the shelves have been veritably groaning with countless other vampiric series, none which take the undead to the literary heights of Mr Newman’s saga. Now as long-time readers of my scribblings will know, I am a huge fan of Mr Newman’s works and I written before on how I consider him to be as a great unrecognised master of fantastic fiction, and the fact that his Anno Dracula saga has been out of print for so long is one of the great crimes of the publishing industry. And fans of this remarkable series, as well as obsessive collectors of books, will doubtless also be thrilled that the new editions not only are being reissued in matching formats but contain new material too. So then you can imagine my joy in discovering that at long last Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula saga is finally being reissued and furthermore the long awaited Johnny Alucard is going to hit the book stores. Another is the news that the next volume in a long running series is finally appearing. One of the great delights of being a bibliophile is the discovery that a long out of print book is returning to the shelves. ![]()

The lack of clothing makes it clear that this is a strip club, but it’s unlike any club I have ever seen in my life. Each bathroom has a different vibe, each one with a woman putting on a show for the men seated on couches like the one in this office, while waitresses dressed in very skimpy robes or nighties walk around with trays of drinks. One is a clear glass shower with white tile, another a glass claw-footed tub with antique-looking tiles on the floor. Around the entire perimeter of the room are different style bathrooms. ![]() When I reach the glass, I look out to the club below and bite my lip.
