The new novel in the acclaimed alternate history vampire series from Kim Newman. "Compulsory reading... glorious" Neil Gaiman on Anno Dracula THE NEW MILLENNIUM... Vampire princess Christina Light is throwing a New Year's Eve party in Daikaiju Plaza - a building in the shape of a giant mechanical dragon - in Tokyo, attended by world leaders of technology, finance and culture. But the party is crashed by less enlightened souls. The distinguished guests are held hostage by yakuza assassins and Transylvanian mercenaries. And vampire schoolgirl Nezumi - sword-wielding agent of the Diogenes Club - finds herself alone, pitted against the world's deadliest creatures. Thrown out of the party, she must fight her way back up through a building that seems designed to destroy her in a thousand ways. Can Nezumi survive past midnight?

Reviews
"Newman's "Anno Dracula" series is one of the most media-literate, rampantly intertextual, exuberantly allusive compendiums of pop-cultural materials ever assembled."
-Los Angeles Review of Books

"Newman is the master of world-building and mash-ups, and he doesn't disappoint in this new release" - Borg.com
