The Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman—named after Anno Dracula (1992), the series' first novel—is a work of fantasy depicting an alternate history in which the heroes of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula fail to stop Count Dracula's conquest of Britain, resulting in a world where vampires are common and increasingly dominant in society. While Dracula is a central figure in the events of the series, he is a minor character in the books and usually appears in only a few climactic pages of each book. While many of the characters from Newman's Diogenes Club stories appear in the Anno Dracula novels, they are not the same as the ones in those stories, nor is the Diogenes Club itself the same.

  • The Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman—named after Anno Dracula (1992), the series' first novel—is a work of fantasy depicting an alternate history in which the heroes of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula fail to stop Count Dracula's conquest of Britain, resulting in a world where vampires are common and increasingly dominant in society. While Dracula is a central figure in the events of the series, he is a minor character in the books and usually appears in only a few climactic pages of each book. While many of the characters from Newman's Diogenes Club stories appear in the Anno Dracula novels, they are not the same as the ones in those stories, nor is the Diogenes Club itself the same. The series is known for its carefully researched historical settings and the author's use as supporting characters of historical people and fictional characters of the appropriate period. The metafictional style was inspired by the Wold Newton Universe of Philip José Farmer; Neil Gaiman helped develop the series (and was originally going to be its co-author). Gaiman has also credited the series as being one of the main influences on his short story "A Study in Emerald". Entries in the series have won the Dracula Society's Children of the Night Award, the Lord Ruthven Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and have been short-listed for the Bram Stoker Award and the Sidewise Award for Alternate History. The series consists of five novels and a number of short stories and novellas. Newman is contracted for a sixth book. (en)
  • La serie Anno Dracula de Kim Newman, que recibe su nombre de primera novela de la serie, traducida al castellano como El año de Drácula (1992)​ y La era de Drácula (2010),​ es una serie de novelas de literatura fantástica que describe una historia alternativa en la que los personajes de la novela Drácula de Bram Stoker no consiguieron detener al Conde Drácula en su conquista de Gran Bretaña a finales del siglo XIX, lo que ha provocado la evolución de un mundo en el que los vampiros son habituales y se encuentran integrados en la sociedad. La serie destaca por sus escenarios históricos y por el uso que el autor realiza tanto de personajes históricos como ficticios del período apropiado. Este estilo metaficticio fue inspirado por el Universo Wold Newton de Philip José Farmer. Neil Gaiman ayudó a desarrollar la serie (y originalmente iba a ser su coautor).​ Aunque Drácula es la figura central en los acontecimientos de la serie debido a sus manipulaciones y planes, su presencia real es reducida, y normalmente solo aparece en unos pocos acontecimientos climáticos de cada libro. La serie ha recibido varios premios de la Dracula Society, la Lord Ruthven Assembly y el International Horror Guild, y ha sido nominada en varias ocasiones al Premio Bram Stoker y al Premio de Historia Alternativa.La serie consiste en cuatro novelas y varios relatos cortos. En español han sido traducidas las dos primeras novelas de la serie y un relato: El año de Drácula, El sanguinario barón rojo y El otro lado de la medianoche. (es)
