Kim Newman's third Anno Dracula novel features a new novella set in Rome and London.
This volume offers a fresh look at the Anno Dracula universe through two distinct narratives. The primary story places Kate Reed in 1959 Rome during Count Dracula's wedding to Princess Asa Vajda. She investigates murders of vampire elders committed by the Crimson Executioner while working with agent Bond. The second part, the novella Aquarius, shifts to London. Here, Reed examines the brutal deaths of two party girls who were drained of blood. This investigation leads her to face a past adversary. Newman uses these plots to explore power dynamics within the vampire society he created. The new edition adds value by including the previously unpublished Aquarius novella alongside the main text.
The book is published by Titan Books in the UK on April 24, 2018. It belongs to the Anno Dracula series, which reimagines Victorian history with supernatural elements. The ISBN is 9781781167571. This edition highlights Newman's role as both novelist and film critic.
