Kim Newman je majster žánrovej literatúry, ktorý s neuveriteľnou komplexnosťou a humorom čerpá z prvkov hororu, sci-fi a fantasy. Jeho diela sú plné odkazov na klasickú i populárnu kultúru, pričom sa pohráva s očakávaniami čitateľov a subvertuje žánrové konvencie. Newmanov štýl je charakteristický hravosťou a schopnosťou prepájať zdanlivo nesúrodé odkazy do pútavých a často znepokojivých príbehov. Či už skúma alternatívne histórie, kde sa fikcia stáva realitou, alebo sa ponára do temných zákutí ľudskej psychiky, jeho písanie vždy ponúka jedinečný a provokatívny pohľad na svet.
