Bram Stoker
Bram Stoker created Dracula, the defining vampire novel that established nearly every convention of vampire fiction and one of the most recognizable Gothic antagonists in literary history. The novel's epistolary structure and atmospheric Transylvanian setting created an enduring template for Gothic horror. Stoker worked as a theater manager for Henry Irving while producing his major fiction.
