The anno dracula series contains a virtual cornucopia of spinbetter characters that are related to wald newton. There are 3 novels and six short stories (at the moment) by kim newman, the effectiveness of which is going on in some world where dracula married a queen and wielded great power in victorian england. These are three books: anno dracula, the bloody red baron and judgment of tears: anno dracula 1959 (aka dracula cha cha cha).
The following is a list of heroes that appear in such an alternate universe. (I think i'll skip some links, so please feel free to contact me if you find any).

Kim newman writes to me that:
In the bed red baron, bertie is not bertie wooster, but - along with algy and ginger - biggle's assistant from the books of w.E. Jonesbruno stachel from the book and film "blue max"tom candall (from yeats' slick novel winged victory, which was written as a "realistic" version of biggle's first book)
Andrew j. Brook points out that the detective fiction magazine time crimes" printed a chapter from kim newman's "blood red baron" "all my life of mycroft holmes", which was not included in the finished book. Bonus links to most book:
"The true identity of the killer edwin drood" - the unfinished last novel by charles dickens "the mystery of edwin drood"the borgia jewel - from conan doyle's "the adventure of the six napoleons".

Again, i think i missed at least half of the borrowed characters, especially the italian references.I omit references to living teachers and stick to fictitious borrowings of those people who either appear or are mentioned in tearful court. Thanks to mark brown, loki carbis, chris davis, greg geek and lou mougin. Reviews, and distributions are welcome.

Andrew mclean also helped me with a few suggestions:
Tom, the lost american (ripley from the novels of patricia highsmith, the oldest of which is recognized as "the talented mr. Ripley", 1957)lemmy caution is referred to as american detective - he is also from jean-luc godard's movie alphaville (1965). )The most serious of any is the mother of tears (this creation is brought from the trilogy "three mothers" proposed by dario argento, through which there were sometime two shares. The first, suspiria (1976), featured the mother of sighs, the other, inferno (1980), featured the mother of darkness. The third of the 3 mothers was not filmed at all, congratulations, to the delight, kim newman remembered.)
Vincent fish sent me a few:
Father merrin is an exorcist in the exorcist by william blattycabiria, probably from fellini's nights of cabiria »
Tristan sargent adds that,
The items tom intends to steal include an ugly but valuable figurine of a bird of prey and an egyptian scarab with a set of pinpoint flaws like big bear. It's more like hammett's the maltese falcon and stoker's pearl of the seven stars +> the newest and most likely the most durable of them is one among the models of the
