Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate. It was the first mash-up of literature, history and vampires, and now, in a world in which vampires are everywhere, it's still the best, and its bite is just as sharp. Compulsory reading, commentary, and mindgame: glorious.

It’s easier to kill people, when you’re dead yourself. I mean, it’s not such a big deal. You’re not so prejudiced any more.

That which is dreamed can never be lost, can never be undreamed.

Goodbyes are overrated.

I already killed you once today, what does it take to teach some people?

I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

It does not matter where you come from, if you walk toward the truth you will reach it, whatever path you take.
