About Bram Stoker
Abraham Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912), better known by his pen name Bram Stoker, was an Irish theatre manager and novelist, best known as the author of the Gothic horror novel Dracula (1897). The novel is regarded as a milestone in vampire literature.
During his life, he was better known as the personal assistant of the actor Sir Henry Irving and business manager of the West End's Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. In his early years in Dublin, he was employed as a theatre critic for an Irish newspaper and occasionally wrote short stories and theatre commentaries. He also enjoyed travelling, particularly to Cruden Bay in Scotland where he set two of his novels and drew inspiration for writing Dracula. Stoker was also friends with both Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde, and he collaborated with other authors in writing experimental novels such as The Fate of Fenella (1892).
Although he wrote 12 mystery novels and novellas, Stoker's reputation as one of the most influential writers of Gothic horror fiction lies solely with Dracula. The novel has become one of the best-selling works of vampire literature and the character, Count Dracula, one of the best-known fictional figures of the Victorian era. Since its publication, there have been more than 700 adaptations of Dracula in various media.
