Abraham '''"Bram" Stoker''' is the author of the horror classic ''Dracula''. He was born in [[Dublin]] on November 8, 1847. Contrary to popular belief, Stoker did not invent the concept of the [[vampire]] - he instead drew on European folklore he had spent eight years researching prior to writing the novel. His other works on the supernatural gained little publicity and were essentially failures.

Bram Stoker had a fascination with the occult, and was rumored to be part of a "magical order", the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Much of ''Dracula'' reflects Stoker's obsession with the supernatural, and implies that God is powerless over it.
