Description

Vampire princess Christina Light is throwing a New Year's Eve party in Daikaiju Plaza—a building in the shape of a giant mechanical dragon—in Tokyo, attended by world leaders of technology, finance and culture. But the party is crashed by less enlightened souls. The distinguished guests are held hostage by yakuza assassins and Transylvanian mercenaries.

Vampire schoolgirl Nezumi, a sword-wielding agent of the Diogenes Club, finds herself alone, pitted against the world's deadliest creatures. Thrown out of the party, she must fight her way back up through a building that seems designed to destroy her in a thousand ways. Can Nezumi survive past midnight?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critics praise Kim Newman's masterful world-building and rich pop-cultural references. The Los Angeles Review of Books calls the series 'one of the most media-literate, rampantly intertextual, exuberantly allusive compendiums of pop-cultural materials ever assembled.' Borg.com describes Newman as 'the master of world-building and mash-ups,' affirming this new release maintains that high standard.
