”Anno Dracula: Johnny Alucard is a rollicking ride through the pop culture of 1976-1991, as Kim Newman cleverly twists and turns the events of those fifteen years to fit his vampiric narrative.” - Criminal Element “I highly suggest picking up this book. 9/10” – Horror News Network “A dream come true for long-time fans of the Anno Dracula series” – Open Letters Monthly “This is yet another must read book from an accomplished author, don’t let it pass you by.” – Pop Cults “Recommended for literate horror fans who wants something cleverer than the latest True Blood or Twilight book. Great fun and definitely recommended.” - SciFi Movie Page “I entered a world which totally engulfed me.” - Horror-Movies.ca “A rollicking ride through the pop culture of 1976-1991, as Kim Newman cleverly twists and turns the events of those fifteen years to fit his vampiric narrative.” - Criminal Element “This book will delight fans of the series and bring in new fans as well, it’s a fun and easy read put together beautifully by Titan Books.” - City of Films “The sheer imagination, dark humor and masterful use of vampire lore makes Johnny Alucard another triumph for Newman and should make the book top-of-shelf for vampire lovers everywhere.” – The Vampire Source Review “An interesting and relevant vampire story. Newman’s nuanced portrayal of vampires is incredibly refreshing.” – Paper Droids “Both gripping and horrific… and also slightly hilarious.” – Comic Book Resources “Newman has crafted a remarkably entertaining story and found a way to breathe new life in the tired old vampire tropes. I particularly love the final scene, which I found to be rather beautiful and a perfect way to end this story. This book is one I highly recommend looking up, whether or not you’re a fan of Nosferatu.” – Horror Talk “This book was addicting, fun, intelligent, and exciting.” – Nerd Span “ Tough and tender, funny and frightening, intellectual and poppy, Johnny Alucard is one vampire book that’s likely to put many others in its black and red-cloaked shade.” – Adventures in SciFi Publishing “I would recommend Johnny Alucard for both it’s historical and entertainment value” – Atomic Moo “Newman is having a blast.” – Den of Geek “stands above the rest of most of the vampire literature out on the shelves right now and for recent years.” – Aint It Cool “The sheer quality of Kim Newman’s writing remains unchanged” – One Metal
