Kim Newman has created a series of books which is part horror and part revisionist history. He bases the series on this premise: Dracula and the people in the Bram Stoker novel were real and what would happened if Dracula actual won their battle. From there he starts changing history as humans and vampires live side by side through the 1900's with each book taking a critical point in time (turn of the century 1900, WWI, and 1959).
I find these fascinating reads as Newman weaves facts and fiction to create a unique universe with credibility and ease. Great stuff.
THE BOOKS
1. Anno Dracula
2. The Bloody Red Baron
3. Judgement of Tears (AKA Dracula Cha Cha Cha)

This blog has evolved over time. It started as a horror movie reviews, which is now called Fringes of Horror. Then it became a place to put my writing, which is now a page called Tales of Fiction. Now, this blog is now more about the things happening in my life. My thoughts, travels, relationships, or whatever pops in my mind that I feel like writing about. Why one would care... I have no idea. But enjoy it none the less.

Always meant to read these; glad to hear they're worthwhile. Newman's book on modern horror film, Nightmare Movies, is essential.
