Each sets out independently, with differing agendas. The victim's inquest is attended by Lestrade, Dieudonné, and Beauregard, along with Captain Kostaki (an officer in Dracula's Carpathian Guard), and Dr. Beauregard, an agent of the Diogenes Club, is tasked with hunting down the killer, dubbed 'Silver Knife' by the public, until an anonymous letter is delivered identifying him as ' Jack the Ripper'. When another prostitute is murdered, Scotland Yard's Inspector Lestrade turns to them for an opinion. The only two survivors of Van Helsing's group are Seward, who now runs a free clinic in Whitechapel, and Arthur Holmwood, Lord Godalming, who chose to become a vampire and is being groomed as a protégé by the new Prime Minister, Lord Ruthven.ĭieudonné has come down in the world, attending sick vampires in Seward's clinic. Many of the country's leading scientists and intellectuals who choose to stay 'warm' (including Sherlock Holmes) are imprisoned in concentration camps in the rural counties. Dracula is well advanced in imposing a police state in the United Kingdom, where dissenters may be jailed or impaled without trial. With no one to oppose him, Dracula creates thousands of British vampires, marries and turns Queen Victoria (acquiring official royal status as Prince Consort) and ushers in a period of increasing British vampire domination. Instead, Dracula killed Quincey Morris and Jonathan Harker and completed Mina Harker's turning into vampire.

John Seward's hand during a fight with Renfield resulted in Van Helsing's allies lacking the strength to defeat Dracula at the crucial moment. In this world, Vlad Tepes killed Abraham Van Helsing, and an injury sustained to Dr. The novel deviates from the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The main characters are Jack the Ripper, and his hunters Charles Beauregard (an agent of the Diogenes Club), and Geneviève Dieudonné, an elder French vampire (a similar version of Dieudonné appeared in Newman's trilogy of novels, written under the pseudonym Jack Yeovil, for the Warhammer Fantasy universe). The reader is alternately and sympathetically introduced to various points of view. The interplay between humans who have chosen to 'turn' into vampires and those who are 'warm' (humans) is the backdrop for the plot which tracks Jack the Ripper's politically charged destruction of vampire prostitutes.

It is an alternate history using 19th-century English historical settings and personalities, along with characters from popular fiction. Anno Dracula is a 1992 novel by British writer Kim Newman, the first in the Anno Dracula series.
