Kim Newman is a distinguished English author, journalist, and film critic. He has established a reputation for himself through his work in the fields of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Newman's writing career took off with the publication of his first novel, The Night Mayor, in 1989. However, he is best known for his Anno Dracula series, which has gained significant popularity among readers.
Newman's work is characterized by recurring interests in horror fiction and film history, which can be traced back to his early exposure to Dracula by Tod Browning at the age of eleven. His bibliography includes several book series, such as The Diogenes Club series and the Drearcliff Grange series, as well as short story collections, comics, and standalone novels. Some of his works have been published under the pen name of Jack Yeovil. Throughout his career, Newman has been recognized for his exceptional work and has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Bram Stoker Award, the BSFA award, and the International Horror Guild Award.
In addition to his work as an author, Newman is also an expert on horror and sci-fi cinema. He has written several books of film criticism, including Nightmare Movies and Millennium Movies. Newman's novels are known for their promiscuous use of tropes from horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, often with irreverent and complex references that range from Kipling to James Bond, and from Edgar Allen Poe to Patricia Highsmith. His pseudonymous novels, written under the name of Jack Yeovil, offer elegant subversions of genre cliches.
Newman is a prominent figure in the literary world, with a career spanning over two decades. He is a regular contributor to Empire Magazine and has written for various other publications, including The Guardian, The Times, and Sight & Sound. He has also made frequent appearances on radio and TV and has a popular following in the horror genre. Newman's contributions to literature have been recognized with several awards, including the Bram Stoker, International Horror Guild, British Fantasy, and British Science Fiction Awards. He has also been nominated for the Hugo and World Fantasy Award.
