okay...so basically, i discovered on of the best books ever. it's called "anno dracula" and it's totally amazing...it's by kim newman and was written in 1992(the year it was written is kind of important) basically, it's premise is: what if dracula killed van helsing and became the ruler of the british empire? what would happen? and what if book characters we took for granted were actually alive?
the plot: someone has been killing new born vampire women in the whitechapel area under the name of "jack the ripper". gwen, a 400-year-old vampire who looks 16, and charles, a human with a failing engagement, work together to solve the mystery and find themselves falling in love(of course). with the help of people like dr. jekyll and oscar wilde, this unlikely duo find themselves trying to catch and murder and maybe even save england.
"anno dracula" is totally amazing...it's really well-written and the way the plot is set up(you know who the murderer is after the first chapter) is really good. i'd really suggest it to anyone who likes good mysteries, dracula or the movie "van helsing". check it out. it's pretty good.

honestly, i'm not trying to be anti-twilight, but i've read part of it and it pretty much is like stephanie meyer stole the plot and just switched the genders of the two main characters.
stole the plot of this book?
