Anno Dracula by Kim Newman
In this alternate history novel, the world is a macabre tapestry where Count Dracula has not only survived but triumphed, marrying Queen Victoria and spreading vampirism throughout the British Empire. The narrative weaves a complex, gothic tale where historical and fictional characters coexist. As the vampire elite rise to power and influence, a gripping story of political intrigue, horror, and murder unfolds, with a Jack the Ripper-like figure preying on vampire prostitutes in London's shadowy streets. The book explores themes of class, power, and the nature of monsterhood, all set against the rich backdrop of a Victorian society transformed by the undead.
