Author Biographical Information
Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in 1847. He originally worked in the Irish Civil Service, but didn't enjoy it much, and soon became an unpaid drama critic for the Mail, a Dublin paper. This career brought him together with a famous actor, Sir Henry Irving, and the two became friends. Beginning in 1878 and continuing to 1905, Stoker served as Sir Henry's manager and secretary.

Stoker wrote many books, but is remembered for only one (Dracula).
