Author : Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker, born Abraham Stoker in Dublin, Ireland, was a prominent British writer known for his seminal gothic horror novel, *Dracula*, published in 1897. The third of seven children in a religious family, he faced health challenges in his early years but made a remarkable recovery, which sparked a lifelong penchant for reflection and storytelling. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, Stoker excelled academically and athletically, becoming involved in various literary and theatrical societies. In 1876, he began his career as a civil servant and soon ventured into writing, producing both non-fiction and fiction, including noteworthy short stories. Stoker's collaboration with English actor Henry Irving as the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre for 27 years greatly influenced his life and work, granting him access to London's high society. Stoker married Florence Balcombe, and they had one son, Irving Noel. Following his death in 1912, his ashes were interred at Golders Green Crematorium, where they remain today.
