There are many secrets in the dark places of the Old World. From the cities of the Empire, where men huddle together in defiance of the darkness that sweeps across the land, to the vast, savage forests that house all manner of terrible beasts, everywhere you look there is a dark tale or ancient legend waiting to be unearthed. For the vampire Genevieve Dieudonné, several of these ancient horrors and blood-soaked nightmares are about to come to light, as she is plunged into battles for her life and her very soul across three linked novellas.

Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here....

Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself - first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it - stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy.

Some gems here
I actually requested this book for review by mistake, peeps. I've wanted to read Anno Dracula for a long time and thought this was the actual novel and not the collection of stories.
Oh, well. I did enjoy some of the stories, and I did get a feel for Kim Newman's writing which is very much a mix between Justin Cronin and Joe Hill.
So, the stories.
FAMOUS MONSTERS
A bit of a drab reminiscence of a Martian's acting career. Not an auspicious start.
A DRUG ON THE MARKET
I got a kick out of this one, peeps. Someone revises Jekyll & Hyde's formula for the mass market with all the fun in the marketing and after effects.
ILLIMITABLE DOMINION & JUST LIKE EDDY
While I listened to both of these twice, I could not concentrate on the narrative it was so boring. Verdict: skip.
AMERIKANSKI DEATH AT THE MOSCOW MORGUE
Super creepy, trippy & entertaining. A fascinating concept of a world after the zombie apocalypse in the end of the 80s - beginning of the 90s in Moscow. I got another kick out of this one.
THE CHILL CLUTCH OF THE UNSEEN
30 Days of Night but the old guy in the chair is conversing with the monster instead. Boring.
ONE HIT WANDA
As in "one hit wonder", it's a fun story about a band with a cursed hit song which they can't stop singing.
IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?.
Another fabulous concept of a medium from 1920s trolled by a modern hacker, whom she entraps like a common spirit. Really entertaining.
THE INTERVENTION
This one left me confused. Either I missed something or wasn't clever enough to understand it.
RED JACKS WILD
One of my favorites, it's about a real Jack the Ripper hunting down his copycats. It was so good, I'd have loved to read a full novel about it.
SARAH MINDS THE DOG
It starts light and cute and quickly twists into something so much darker. It made me quite uncomfortable.
THE SNOW SCULPTURES OF XANADU & THE PALE SPIRIT PEOPLE
Not memorable at all. My mind kept wandering, and I could not understand the stories, especially the first one.
UBERMENSCH!
Awesome read. This was about a German Superman who worked with Nazis and is being interviewed years after by a monster hunter after the Wall collapsed. So freaking good.
COASTAL CITY
Meh. Not worth the read.
COMPLETIST HEAVEN
Another meh. It was really tiring to listen to this one, and I'm sure the narrator didn't enjoy the mad recitation as well.
UNE ETRANGE AVENTURE DE RICHARD BLAINE
Another good story involving Nazis hunting monsters in Paris. Very atmospheric.
FRANKENSTEIN ON ICE
I loved the concept! It would have made a fab movie, and it reminded me of Justin Cronin the most.
YOKAI TOWN: ANNO DRACULA 1899
Now, this was a good introduction to the actual novel, which I now want to read. Vampires and samurai in the same script seem like a win-win scenario to me.
Overall, it's not a good collection. There are a few excellent stories hidden among average ones, which does not improve your reading/listening experience, - that's why my rating was pretty low. Choose for yourself if it's worth the read.

A glimpse into the depraved mind of Kim Newman!
It's like all the Anno Dracula headlines say: "the sick and depraved mind of Kim Newman" - this book is the best glimpse into it.
This one is a collection of short stories and only the last one is an Anno Dracula story. Being a huge Anno Dracula fan, I was not disappointed at all, but rather pleasantly surprised. Newman's style of alternate reality fiction is appealing across all monsters and movie universes, not only Dracula. His vast academic knowledge is apparent, and his mastery of weaving it into quality fiction is ever impressive. If anything, this book has sold me on his other non-Dracula works. Now I'm looking forward to his latest "More Than Night".
A special compliment is, as always, due to William Gaminara. His acting (not mere narration) elevates all Newman's works, non so than this. The perfect marriage between Newman's fiction and Gaminara's voice has never been more powerful than in the first story of this collection "Famous Monsters". Do yourself a favor, check it out.

Bit of a let down!
I expected this would be a large short story (1899), and some others all set in the same continuity. a few of these stories are "ok", with one or two genuinley good ones. The 1899 story itself is very short and just a set up for his next book. Over all a bit of a dissapointment, would probably be better advertised as a collection of short stories with an Anno Drac story included. Narration is awesome as always by William Gamminara!

Not Anno Dracula
Where does Anno Dracula 1899 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Its in the top twenty
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the various "alternate universes" that the short stories explore.
Which character – as performed by William Gaminara – was your favourite?
No character stood out. I find William Gaminara an excellent narrator,
Any additional comments?
This is not really a series of short stories set in the Anno Dracula world. The stories are of a similar form as Anno Dracula in that the protagonists are interwoven with real historical characters and cultural figures. There is however precious little crossover to the Anno Dracula world and if that is important to you you will be dissapointed. If you are happy with a book of disperate short stories, as I was, then you'll find this entertaining.

Misleading
With Anno Dracula in big letters you would expect more than one story in the series. That said some of the other stories are quite interesting.
Update - Just started the next Anno Dracula book, One Thousand Monsters, and the short story is the start of the book.
Unless you want to hear some of Kim Newman's other stories there is no need to buy this book to complete the Anno Dracula series.

Curate’s Egg - good in parts
A little disappointed that, as other reviewers have said, there is only a single short story from the Anno Dracula universe.
However as an insight into Kim Newman’s incredible, literary mind this book is worthy of a listen. Some of the stories did not grab me, but others such as the 20th century medium and the Frankenstein movies, I loved. The former for the storytelling and idea, the latter for the sheer knowledge and exuberance of the way it was presented.
The narrator, William Gaminara is always a delight and his performance in these stories is magnificent.

Delightful mix of new and old stories
Narrator captured the ghoulish humour and energy of Newman's pastiches, with good accents and differences between characters.
