Summary
A brand-new edition with an additional novella, this critically-acclaimed, best-selling sequel to Anno Dracula will keep you mesmerised from beginning to end.
It is 1918 and Dracula is commander-in-chief of the armies of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war of the great powers in Europe is also a war between the living and the dead. As ever, the Diogenes Club is at the heart of British Intelligence and Charles Beauregard and his protégé Edwin Winthrop go head-to-head with the lethal vampire flying machine that is The Bloody Red Baron...
Written by popular novelist and movie critic Kim Newman, The Bloody Red Baron takes the story forward into the 20th century.

Disappointing
Not as good as Anno Dracula in my opinion, though perhaps I simply prefer the 1800's setting, still fun to play 'spot the literary reference' though.

Excellent
Along with Anno Dracula (and Dracula Cha Cha Cha) this is irresistible work from Kim Newman. I had only read his seminal Nightmare Movies and had no idea he is such a good novelist.
Full of every vampire character you have ever though of, and humorous moments (as when Simon Templar appears briefly raising a quizzical eyebrow..)
Great fun all round and impossible to stop listening to.

Not as absorbing as Anno Dracula
The mix of fictional and real characters, some vampire and some 'warm' compete in the same way as the first in this series, Anno Dracula. However I was not immediately hooked by the lead characters this time. Obviously WW1 and Biggles flying aces are here along with Edgar Allen Poe, but their characters did not spark enough empathy for me I'm afraid. Of more interest if you are into WW1 flying aces perhaps?

Fun enough
It doesn't have the panache of its predecessor, but is still an entertaining and flamboyant listen. If you can get past the occasional ridiculousness (which you probably can if you're reading this), it's a well told romp, though without vast plot depth. Good performance - accents not always perfect, but this does not mar the whole.

A Palpable Hit...a worthy sequel.
Having enjoyed Anno Dracula, I was prepared to be disappointed by the first sequel. However I was quickly carried along by the characters, some familiar, some new, some historical, and by the insanity of the First World War. I was not disappointed and this sequel was possibly even more absorbing than its predecessor. I thoroughly enjoyed it although like war, it contained many sorrows and moments of pure horror produced by humanity as much as by the supposed monsters, the always fascinating vampires. A great read exquisitely performed by William Gaminara.

Joyous high camp, if you can get past the cartoon gore
I love this sort of ensemble piece with familiar characters from a spread of contemporary fiction and history. Would have liked more of the Duke of Denver’s second son, but I guess copyright rules don’t permit more than a passing reference. Tremendous, gore- splattered fun

Narrator with a cold ruins book
Seriously, could they not have rescheduled the recording? I can HEAR the snot. Revolting. Distracting.

Exciting Adventures
I really enjoyed this novel, more so than Anno Dracula. It’s a great story of an alternate WWI in which real historical figures mix with literary characters. I don’t want to go into detail as it would spoil the plot but if you enjoyed Anno Dracula I’m sure you’d love this. Well written and equally well read.

Good idea, but dull.
The idea of famous (and un-famous) names in WWI being vampires, but it's lacking a story. Sadly it's also not delivered well, each sentence broken down to sound like two or three separate sentences. Braking any. Momentum.

Well read but.........
the story is well read by William Gaminara but the story is confusing!! I have started listening to the story twice and now its just something that i'm listening to but not taking in. I thought that this was just my sort of story but you have to try and fill in the gaps with regard to how things came about in the story and only then do you get a sense of what your listening to. I wouldnt listen to anything else by Kim Newman.
