Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.
Stoker was born on 8 November 1847 at 15 Marino Crescent, Clontarf, on the northside of Dublin, Ireland. His parents were Abraham Stoker (1799–1876), from Dublin, and Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley (1818–1901), who was raised in County Sligo. Stoker was the third of seven children, the eldest of whom was Sir Thornley Stoker, 1st Bt. Abraham and Charlotte were members of the Church of Ireland Parish of Clontarf and attended the parish church with their children, who were baptised there.
Stoker was bedridden with an unknown illness until he started school at the age of seven, when he made a complete recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years." He was educated in a private school run by the Rev. William Woods.
Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker.
Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations.
The story is told in epistolary format, as a series of letters, diary entries, and ships' log entries, whose narrators are the novel's protagonists, and occasionally supplemented with newspaper clippings relating events not directly witnessed. The events portrayed in the novel take place chronologically and largely in England and Transylvania during the 1890s and all transpire within the same year between the 3rd of May and the 6th of November. A short note is located at the end of the final chapter written 7 years after the events outlined in the novel.
A book is a set of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of ink, paper, parchment, or other materials, fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is a leaf, and each side of a leaf is a page. A set of text-filled or illustrated pages produced in electronic format is known as an electronic book, or e-book.
Books may also refer to works of literature, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature. In novels and sometimes other types of books (for example, biographies), a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, and so on). An avid reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially, bookworm.
A shop where books are bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 unique titles had been published. In some wealthier nations, printed books are giving way to the usage of electronic or e-books, though sales of e-books declined in the first half of 2015.
Professor Abraham Van Helsing is a character from the 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. Van Helsing is an aged Dutch doctor with a wide range of interests and accomplishments, partly attested by the string of letters that follows his name: "M.D., D.Ph., D.Litt., etc, etc," indicating a wealth of experience, education and expertise. The character is best known throughout his many adaptations as a vampire hunter, monster hunter, and the archenemy of Count Dracula.
In the novel, Van Helsing is called in by his former student, Dr. John Seward, to assist with the mysterious illness of Lucy Westenra. Van Helsing's friendship with Seward is based in part upon an unknown prior event in which Van Helsing suffered a grievous wound, and Seward saved his life by sucking out the gangrene. It is Van Helsing who first realizes that Lucy is the victim of a vampire, and he guides Dr. Seward and his friends in their efforts to save Lucy.
According to Leonard Wolf's annotations to the novel, Van Helsing had a son who died. Van Helsing says that his son, had he lived, would have had a similar appearance to another character, Arthur Holmwood. Consequently, Van Helsing developed a particular fondness for Holmwood. Van Helsing's wife went insane after their son's death, but as a Catholic, he refuses to divorce her ("with my poor wife dead to me, but alive by Church's law, though no wits, all gone, even I, who am faithful husband to this now-no-wife").

Hey, horror fans! This is the granddaddy of horror. And specifically, it's the godfather of vampires. Everything you know and love about vampires was written by Bram Stoker first. Sent from Victorian London to assist a mysterious Transylvanian noble purchase property in the city, young Jonathan Harker instead finds archaic superstitions and a horror that will live in infamy for over a century. This is the bedrock upon which the horror genre is based. It's mood and imagery permeate pop culture, written and filmed, ever since, from Salem's Lot to The Lost Boys. ----------------------------------------------- Other social media links!

Hi Bookland :) This video may be choppy. My whole point of it was in the movie they made Mina out to be some weak love obsessed girl when in the book she is a strong minded and influential part of the entire group. Without this strong female character pushing for the men to take charge and seek out and kill Dracula more people would have died before the end. Not only was Mina the driving force but she was also the "secretary" if you will that managed to collect all the information on Dracula.

Drácula Bram Stoker Fernando Vicente Traducción de Juan Antonio Molina Foix Colección: Literatura Ilustrador: Fernando Vicente Prólogo: Luis Alberto de Cuenca
Der Londoner Rechtsanwalt Jonathan Harker reist auf Wunsch des Grafen Dracula nach Siebenbürgen, da dieser zuvor in London ein Haus erworben hatte und nun den Kauf und die bevorstehende Überfahrt durch seinen Anwalt abklären lassen möchte. Auf der Hinfahrt bemerkt Harker einige für ihn wunderliche Dinge und eine Anwohnerin übergibt Harker einen Rosenkranz, um ihn zu schützen. In Bistritz nimmt er eine Postkutsche und am Borgo-Pass (Tihuța-Pass) wird er von einem Kutscher abgeholt und zum Wohnsitz des Grafen begleitet. Die ersten Tage verlaufen ruhig, doch Harker wird gebeten, einige Räume nicht zu betreten, er verspricht, sich daran zu halten. Er bemerkt, dass der Graf kein Spiegelbild hat und einen gierigen Gesichtsausdruck beim Anblick von Blut bekommt, als er sich bei der Rasur schneide...
