| Publisher Description: Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 - 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. Before writing Dracula, Stoker met rmin V mb ry who was a Hungarian writer and traveler. Dracula likely emerged from V mb ry's dark stories of the Carpathian mountains. Stoker then spent several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires. Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic, but completely fictional, diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to his story, a skill he developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life.
