DRACULA by Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker, an Irish author, gained fame for his 1897 Gothic horror novel, Dracula. However, his career encompassed more than writing; he served as the personal assistant to renowned actor Sir Henry Irving and managed the Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. Stoker's dual role in the theater world and his literary contributions highlight his significant impact on both the arts and the horror genre.
