The Bloody Red Baron is the second novel in the Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman, set in an Alternate History where Dracula's successful invasion of England led to vampires coming out of the shadows.In this novel, it's 1918 and World War I is in full swing. Dracula, having been driven out of England, is allied with the Central Powers, but there are vampires fighting on both sides of the conflict (and others hanging around on the sidelines taking whatever advantage they can).The novel's Kindle and paperback editions also contains the novella, "Vampire Romance."

Katanas Are Just Better: Nezumi first favoured a silver-plated katana in Vampire Romance, though after decades spent in Britain and becoming one of Richard Jeperson's "Lovelies", she uses a hockey stick for non-lethal combat in Aquarius (though the hockey stick does have a steel short sword hidden inside).r.]]

Unknown Rival: Genevieve is utterly despised by 14 year old human girl, Lydia, as her "rival" for Liam's affections. This is due to Genevieve looking like a 16 year old girl and the person that Lydia is most jealous of.

She immediately latches on to Liam Karnstein in an attempt to make him "her" vampire. It is to be expected since she's fourteen. She eventually snaps out of it.

Your Vampires Suck
 The Bloody Red Baron / int_3e06b5c7
comment
Your Vampires Suck: "Vampire Romance", set in 1923, uses certain fictional characters of the period as expies of Newman's fellow vampire writers - with unflattering results. Salome Otterbourne wrote the Nitelite Saga, with a hero who "glittered like a Christmas tree" and a heroine who kept on swooning, even in chapters that she was narrating; Rosie M. Banks penned the Mal de Mer mysteries, which "were written in baby-talk and took about half an hour to get through", featuring characters with such silly names as Snookie; and Harriet Vane was responsible for the Vampyrhhic Chronicles, which were written from the vampire's point of view and contained long and tedious descriptions of ancient history and Roman Catholicism.

Body Double: Dracula deploys a number of decoy body doubles during the climactic battle. It backfires once the decoys start being killed, because the news that "Dracula's dead" travels faster than the news that there are decoys in play, and his troops are demoralized by their leader's apparent death (and then also bewildered by the arrival of multiple conflicting accounts of his death).

Happy Ending Override: Sort of; Anno Dracula doesn't exactly end happily, but it does end with Dracula's power over Britain being dealt a fatal blow and a mob rising up against him. The sequel, however, reveals that he was able to linger around for another few years before finally being driven out of the country.

Transhuman: By drinking Albert Ball's blood without giving up any of his own blood in return, Winthrop effectively becomes a human with vampiric abilities rather than actually turning into a vampire. It's also suggested that Beauregard is aging much slower than he should be due to picking up a little of Genevieve's blood during the time they were intimate decades earlier.

Badass Crew: The Red Baron leads a squad of German fliers who are all vampires and aces, much like the real life Jagdgeschwader 1 the Baron led. Except not only are they vampires (making them excellent night pilots) to match up to the Allies' slightly better squad of aces (which includes Expies of The Shadow, Biggles, and Captain Midnight, along with real life British ace Albert Ball) the squad is modified by science and elder vampire blood into giant bat fliers wearing machine-gun rigs.

Foreshadowing: In "Vampire Romance" there is plenty of foreshadowing as to who The Crooked Man really is, with references abounding to the person themselves. When it is finally revealed, Genevieve mentions that a penny in her head all night finally dropped. Specifically, his murder of two young boys, which the character himself refers to as a part of a long-ago formed habit.

Our Vampires Are Different
 The Bloody Red Baron / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires come from a number of various "Bloodlines", but are considered biological entities with "just a touch" of magic (they don't cast reflections, for example). Some may be able to transform, while others have corpse-like features, and others suffer from blood frenzy. Religious symbols and even garlic only affect those vampires who believe they can. Sunlight only hurts younger undead, and silver only serves to counter their regeneration abilities; any sufficient organ damage (like, say, a stake though the heart) can kill them for good. This novel has a particular focus on bloodlines, as the Germans are experimenting with it to create the ultimate vampire: capable of becoming giant man-bats. It's also revealed that some vampires can heal from moonlight, while some become even stronger from it.

Shout-Out: Any piece of seemingly unnecessary exposition, any background character who gets more than a sentence of description? A Shout-Out to something. When Edwin Winthrop and Albert Ball are captured by a group of vampire trench-scavengers, their number include Jules and Jim, Mellors, Švejk, Raleigh, and Charles Plumpick. Baron von Richthofen has an inexplicable hatred toward a small white beagle.

comment
In Spite of a Nail: A few decades after Dracula conquered England and the vampires came out of the shadows, history is back on course to the extent that World War I is happening in roughly the same way (with a Lampshade Hanging that many believe it wouldn't have happened without the vampire influence).

comment
Historical Villain Upgrade: In "Vampire Romance", the villain turns out to be a vampirised Richard III, who is worse than Shakespeare portrayed him. He resents Will for saying he sent someone to kill the Princes in the Tower; he dealt with them personally.

Opposite-Sex Clone: Liam is effectively an alchemically created version of this for the late Carmilla.

Vampire Variety Pack: The different bloodlines each features a different subset of vampire characteristics; only some bloodlines are able to transform into other shapes, for instance.

Never Found the Body: Captain Allard commits a heroic sacrifice at the end to take down Dracula's war blimp the Attila. It is widely assumed he was incinerated in the blast or killed in the crash... but it is strongly hinted in Dracula Cha-Cha-Cha that he did indeed somehow survive, and went on to become The Shadow.

Young Future Famous People: Quite a few. One of the bigger examples a particularly pompous and overweight member of the Baron's circus... Herman Goring.
