Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
