Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish author best known for his 1897 Gothic horror novel, Dracula. Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland, and was educated at Trinity College. He worked as a civil servant and a theater critic before becoming a full-time writer. Stoker wrote several other novels, including The Snake's Pass (1890), The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903), and The Lady of the Shroud (1909). He also wrote a number of short stories, including "The Judge's House" (1891) and "The Squaw" (1893). Stoker was a friend of the famous Irish writer Oscar Wilde, and was the business manager of London's Lyceum Theatre, which was owned by actor Henry Irving. Stoker died in 1912, and his novel Dracula has since become one of the most famous and influential horror stories of all time.
