Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Sir Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. He graduated with a BA in 1870, and pursued his MA in 1875. Though he later in life recalled graduating "with honours in mathematics," this appears to have been a mistake. He was auditor of the College Historical Society (the Hist) and president of the University Philosophical Society, where his first paper was on Sensationalism in Fiction and Society.

"Mit dem Mondlicht kam ein wildes Säuseln des Sturms, der mit einem langen, tiefen Heulen wie von unzähligen Hunden oder Wölfen wieder anzuschwellen schien. Ich war von Furcht erfüllt, wie erstarrt und konnte die Kälte spürbar zunehmen fühlen, bis sie in mein Herz eingedrungen zu sein schien." Von schaurigen Friedhofsbegegnungen über dramatischen Verfolgungsjagden bis zu unheimlichen Mördern und mysteriösen Todesfällen ist in dieser Sammlung alles dabei. Gruselfans kommen auf ihre Kosten und streifen mit den Protagonisten der jeweiligen neun Geschichten durch scheinbar totenstille Städte und zwielichtige Gassen. Posthum wurden diese Kurzgeschichten veröffentlicht von der Witwe von Abraham "Brahm" Stoker (1847-1912). "Draculas Gast" ist ein Ausschnitt aus der ursprünglichen Version von "Dracula", an welchem er sieben Jahre lang schrieb und der ihm zu weltweitem Ruhm verhalf. Heutzutage gilt Bram Stoker als Gründer des modernen Vampirmythos.

One of the most famous pieces of English literature of all time, Dracula is a towering work of Gothic fiction whose archetypal characters-Count Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing-have permeated popular culture since their first appearance in 1897. Drawing on Transylvanian folklore, Bram Stoker weaves his tale of horror through newspaper articles and the letters, diary entries, journals, telegrams, and ship's logs of a small cast of characters whose perilous encounters with Dracula have harrowing if not fatal consequences. Dracula has been adapted for film more than thirty times-though seldom with complete fidelity to the original narrative that continues to captivate countless readers the world over and inspire adaptations of all kinds.This Warbler Classics edition includes an essay on Dracula criticism over time and a biographical note on the life and work of Bram Stoker.

"Mörkrets makter är en av de största upptäckterna i Draculas långa historia..." -- John E. BrowningEn unik version av Bram Stokers bloddrypande mästerverk. Den publicerades i Sverige 1899, en tegelstensroman dubbelt så lång som klassikern från 1897. Men också betydligt mer våldsam och erotisk.
