Bram Stoker
Bram Stoker was an Irish author best known for the 1897 novel *Dracula*, which established the modern vampire myth and remains one of the most influential horror novels ever written.
He worked as a theater manager for the actor Henry Irving while writing fiction.
His name is now synonymous with vampire fiction: a Bram Stoker–style gothic tale.
