Best known as an acerbic film reviewer and specialist of the arcana of exploitation cinema, Newman is also a terribly entertaining novelist. His tongue in cheek, witty contemporary Dracula chronicles (so far ANNO DRACULA, THE BLOODY RED BARON and DRACULA CHA CHA CHA) have been a delight so the arrival after over a decade of a new volume is reason to rejoice. Skewing the pretensions of much of popular culture and its icons, this is another delightful romp through cinematic and horror lore in an alternative world where Dracula reigns and Francis Ford Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW is revamped into a vampire epic during the heyday of disco and Andy Warhol. A comic souffle of a ripping yarn.
