Bram Stoker

Some of you may have noticed the Bram Stoker-inspired cartoon on the Google search page yesterday.  This was done in celebration of Stoker's 165th birthday.  I thought it might be fun to take a look at Stoker's life and works.

Forbes did a terrific article entitled "5 Fun Facts About Bram Stoker on His 165th Birthday".  The two that stood out in my mind are the short feud with Oscar Wilde (who would have thought?) and that Stoker wrote romance novels.  I guess you just never know about these classic literary figures!  The Huffington Post even did a cool Vampires in Art slideshow in celebration of Stoker's birthday.

If this has piqued your interest in Stoker, try his classic work, Dracula, as a book, audiobook, or DVD.
