Anno Dracula: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

One of the features of the series is that it is a [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]], with every significant vampire in fiction getting at least a mention or a cameo, along with an enormous number of other famous fictional characters who had not previously been associated with vampires. One of the main characters is Geneviève Dieudonné, this universe's version of the title character from Newman's [[Warhammer Fantasy]] series ''The Vampire Genevieve''.

* [[Fantastic Slurs]]: In ''Anno Dracula'' some living humans call vampires "leeches" (and some vampires have a rather derogotary way of saying "the warm"). In "Castle in the Desert", a California diner has a sign saying "No Vipers".

* [[Genius Loci]]: Mama Roma in ''Dracula Cha-Cha-Cha''

* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: By the second book, World War I is happening in roughly the same way it did in our history (with a [[Lampshade Hanging]] that many believe it wouldn't have happened without the vampire influence), and by the third book (set in [[The Fifties]]) the vampires seem to have had no real effect on history at all; they exist, but everything else is the same. "Coppola's Dracula" recapitulates the making of ''[[Apocalypse Now]]'' with bizarre precision, considering it's set in a different history and concerns a film based on a different book.

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: For instance the unnamed gumshoe in "Castles In The Desert" - who just happens to have [[Philip Marlowe]]'s backstory, up to and including ''[[Posthumous Collaboration|Poodle Springs]]''.
