Newmans 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 youre 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 thats likely to put many others in its black and red-cloaked shade." - Adventures in SciFi Publishing "I would recommend Johnny Alucard for both its 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 Newmans writing remains unchanged" - One Metal Long Description Transylvania 1976 and the vampire Kate Reed is on the set of Francis Ford Coppolas troubled production of Dracula.
