Abraham Stoker (1847-1912), better known as Bram, was born on this date, November 8. Of course, you’ve all heard of him. He wrote this little book about a vampire. No, not Varney. Dracula.
Anyway, even if he had never written anything else, (he did write other stuff, you know) he would be remembered for that one novel.
So happy birthday, Bram.
You know I’ve never read anything by Stoker except Dracula.
I’ve always liked the short story “The Squaw”.
That seems to be in a lot of classic ghost stories collection. I will keep a look out for it. I have also read “Dracula’s Guest” which was deleted chapter from the book, but is often published as a short story. I don’t know if that counts being separate from Dracula.
