Bram Stoker's Death Anniversary

 

Abraham "Bram" Stoker, who passed away on 20 April 1912, aged 64, was an Irish writer. He is best remembered as the author of the classical and influential vampire novel Dracula. A vampire is a kind of monster associated with death and the Devil.

The novel’s influence on representations of vampires in Western popular culture has been immense and long-lasting. Dracula has enjoyed wide popularity in its many adaptations for film, television, and the stage.

Stoker wrote several other novels—among them The Mystery of the Sea (1902), The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903), and The Lady of the Shroud (1909)—but none of them approached the popularity of Dracula.
