Ever wanted to talk with someone about a book you just read? You could just join a book group and talk about it, drink a little, veer off on tangents, work back around to the book again, and finally wrap it up by picking the next book.
But what happens when the book you just read is about about hungry zombies or a haunted house, and your Eat, Pray, Love–reading friends aren’t really into reading it, much less discussing its finer points? That’s what we’re here for. We Two Mikes will be your virtual book group for discussing new and interesting and old and half-forgotten horror books.
If you want to follow along with us, look at the next forbidden book on the table and start reading.
Episode 82, Kim Newman's Anno Dracula
The Mikes are delighted to discover the inaugural book in Kim Newman's alternate history series in which Dracula comes to power in England and vampire Victorian culture is born. So glad we read this one.
It's Cocktail Time!
Victoria's Secret
In an ice-filled collins glass add:
- 2 shots Bombay or Bombay Sapphire Gin (as long as it has a picture of the queen on the bottle)
- 1 shot tuica (or if you can't find this Romanian plum liqueur, you can substitute Czech slivovitz)
- a couple dashes of Angostura bitters to pink it up
- Fill with tonic and garnish with long, curly orange peel
God Save the Queen!

This sounds like a fun read.
I hadn't heard of this series but I certainly knew of Kim Newman and his vampire character Genevieve since he wrote several stories about her for the Warhammer game-fiction books... which have a decent reputation despite being RPG-based fiction.
So now I'll have to grab these and see how the old girl turns out.
