Through his friendship with Irving, he was invited to the White House and met both William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. During these trips, he also became acquainted with Walt Whitman.While working as Irving's manager and as director of London's Lyceum Theatre, Stoker began to write his stories, including Dracula, The Lady of the Shroud, and, the last work before his death, The Lair of the White Worm.
