Author Abraham 'Bram' Stoker, born on November 8, 1847 was an Irish civil servant prolific writer, critic, journalist and theatre producer. He was a sickly child and spent a lot of time in bed. Growing up, his mother told him a lot of horror stories which may have influenced his later writings. He is of course most famous for creating one of the most memorable monsters in literary history. The gothic masterpiece, Dracula, was published by Archibald Constable in 1897. The book has continued to grip the public's imagination ever since, and it has never been out of print since its publication. The evil Count has inspired the creation of hundreds of film, theatrical and literary adaptations. Stoker crossed the rainbow bridge on April 20, 1912. Narrator Edward E. French is an Oscar nominated and Emmy Award Winning Special Effects Makeup Artist who resides in Hollywood, California. Inquiries? Email: edwardfrench06@hotmail.com.
