Dracula Cha Cha Cha Kim Newman 9780671022099 Books

This whole series is brilliant. I ordered the first book on a whim and found it so engrossing that I went on to order all the books. Kim Newman is a terrific writer. I have a pretty good vocabulary, so it's rare that I need to look up a word, but Mr. Newman's made me do exactly that quite a few times. I really like the challenge and since I am reading these books on a Kindle it's pretty easy to do. Above all these books are fun to read and contain so many references to other works and cultural landmarks ( the Dude from "The Big Lebowski " for one) that the reader needs to pay close attention and even then will probably miss some witty nuggets; that's no problem since rereaiding is nearly as enjoyable as the first time through. I really can't recommend this book too highly.

Dracula Cha Cha Cha Kim Newman 9780671022099 Books Reviews

Schlocky-horror in Roma! Hammer-horror meets Fellini in a tacky nightclub in Rome and they go Clubbing (in all senses of the word). Kind of fun, and all the pop-culture references are clever, but perhaps witty rather than intelligent writing.
This whole series is smart, exciting, well written, well plotted, well thought out. It's a great series.
This is a great book, especially if you are into 60's trivia. it's written with a light hand and the story line is intelligent. don't let the title fool you; this is a great book about vampires.
Count Dracula is about to marry the Moldavian Princess Asa Vajda in a move that will return him into the position of Lord of the Undead. Not only is Rome now full of vampires, all invited to his wedding, but also the Powers That Be have sent their own agents and assassins to deal with him, and the undead, once and for all. Think all the vampires every thought of, from Armand of Paris to Collins from America, meeting characters from the James Bond movies and other horror flicks. That's right, you have Bond, Frankenstein's monster, Russian agents, and a few others that I'll keep to myself. I don't want to spoil it for the rest of you. Think of it as the who's who of just about everybody. Be warned - the title has been changed, so this is third book with a new title.
"Anno Dracula Dracula Cha Cha Cha" is the 3rd of 4 novels in the Anno Dracula Series by Kim Newman, set in 1959 Rome. Dracula is still attempting the subjugation of the world and preparing nuptials with his 6th wife, there is a mysterious murderer of vampires and Kate, Charles & Genevieve are all in the city trying to stop the madness Dracula seems to engender whenever he thinks ultimate power within his reach.
Kim Newman is one of my favourite authors ever. Anno Dracula is one of the books I'd take with me to a desert island, I love it that much. This book, the third in this "world" is just as amazing as the first two. It's a whirlwind ride through the 50's films, music, culture, life, plus vampires. And no, vampires do not sparkle here. If they did, Kate and Genevieve would probably turn vampire slayers very quickly.

The new edition contains all of the novel, which I bought when it first came out. But it also has an additional novella, set in the 60's, which is just as marvelous as the main book.

If you like literature, and films, you should love what Kim Newman writes. He brings you into an alternate reality, and makes it truly real.
The third installment of Kim Newman's Anno Dracula series! (Yes, the THIRD! And this is the original title--for some reason the idiot publishers made Newman retitle it for the original US release) I really enjoyed this, for the most part. Still not as good as the first, original entry in the series, but at the same time it was better than the second book which I thought fell a little flat. Newman once again populates his world with a host of borrowed literary, film and historical characters, this time drawing heavily from Itallian horror and crime films in addition to the Bond franchise. (That's right--Bond! With that cover, are you actually surprised? But I'll get to that....)

The year is 1959. World War II is over and behind us, and Dracula has settled his exiled house in a Roman castle given him by the Allies in recognition for his aid in defeating the Nazis. But now it seems Dracula is no longer content with his exile as his marriage to the undead princess Asa Vadja is announced. This is obviously viewed with concern by Charles Beauregard, now over a hundred years old and nearing his end, also in Rome where he can keep an eye on his old enemy. Genvieve and Kate are also concerned, but their main focus is Charles' failing health as he refuses to turn and join them in undeath. Charles' old firm, the Diogenes Club, has sent one of their top operatives to Rome to investigate the proceedings--"Bond, Hamish Bond." (Yes, Hamish is the Scots form of James....) Many 007-related references ensue, from other literary characters descibed as Bond's classic villains (Frankenstein's Monster is both Jaws and Oddjob, for example) to phrases and titles being worked in ("You only live twice," says Bond on his experience turning vampire). And against all this, someone is flamboyantly killing vampire Elders.....
