About the Author

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was born in Dublin in Ireland. A graduate of Trinity College, Stoker was inspired to write Dracula when he met Armin Vámbéery, an Hungarian writer, who told Stoker tales of the Carpathian Mountains. This inspired Stoker to study European folklore and the history of vampires.
