A brand-new edition with an additional novella, this critically-acclaimed, best-selling sequel to Anno Dracula will keep you mesmerised from beginning to end.

It is 1918 and Dracula is commander-in-chief of the armies of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war of the great powers in Europe is also a war between the living and the dead. As ever, the Diogenes Club is at the heart of British Intelligence and Charles Beauregard and his protégé Edwin Winthrop go head-to-head with the lethal vampire flying machine that is The Bloody Red Baron...

Written by popular novelist and movie critic Kim Newman, The Bloody Red Baron takes the story forward into the 20th century.

Critic reviews

"Stephen King assumes we hate vampires; Anne Rice makes it safe to love them, because they hate themselves. Kim Newman suspects that most of us live with them… Anno Dracula is the definitive account of that post-modern species, the self-obsessed undead.” -( New York Times)
“Powerful...compelling entertainment...a fiendishly clever banquet of dark treats.” ( San Francisco Chronicle)
"Politics, horror, and romance are woven together in this brilliantly imagined and realized novel. Newman's prose is a delight, his attention to detail is spellbinding." ( Time Out)

I really enjoyed this novel, more so than Anno Dracula. It’s a great story of an alternate WWI in which real historical figures mix with literary characters. I don’t want to go into detail as it would spoil the plot but if you enjoyed Anno Dracula I’m sure you’d love this. Well written and equally well read.

Having enjoyed Anno Dracula, I was prepared to be disappointed by the first sequel. However I was quickly carried along by the characters, some familiar, some new, some historical, and by the insanity of the First World War. I was not disappointed and this sequel was possibly even more absorbing than its predecessor. I thoroughly enjoyed it although like war, it contained many sorrows and moments of pure horror produced by humanity as much as by the supposed monsters, the always fascinating vampires. A great read exquisitely performed by William Gaminara.

A Palpable Hit...a worthy sequel.

As intricate as Anno Dracula before it, the worldbuilding is so tight, skewing the real events we know with a vampiric twist.

Dracula as you never seen him

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The mix of fictional and real characters, some vampire and some 'warm' compete in the same way as the first in this series, Anno Dracula. However I was not immediately hooked by the lead characters this time. Obviously WW1 and Biggles flying aces are here along with Edgar Allen Poe, but their characters did not spark enough empathy for me I'm afraid. Of more interest if you are into WW1 flying aces perhaps?

Not as absorbing as Anno Dracula
