Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Sir Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. He graduated with a BA in 1870, and pursued his MA in 1875. Though he later in life recalled graduating "with honours in mathematics," this appears to have been a mistake.

Autorenporträt
Abraham Stolker, conhecido como Bram Stolker, figura entre os mais aclamados autores da literatura de horror. Nascido em Dublin, Irlanda, em 8 de novembro de 1847, formou-se em Matemática, mas não chegou a exercer a profissão. Também foi crítico teatral, uma de suas paixões, meio artístico que o aproximou de Sheridan Le Fanu, por quem seria profundamente influenciado. Mais de 120 anos se passaram desde que o talentoso romancista deu a vida ao personagem que eternizou a figura do vampiro no imaginário popular. Publicado originalmente em 1897, Drácula é a quinta obra de Bram Stolker. O romance epistolar narrado por meio de cartas envolve o leitor em uma atmosfera carregada de suspense e tensão, enquanto o guia rumo às entranhas do universo gótico tão bem representado por Stolker.
