Bram Stoker (1847–1912) wrote several works of fantastic fiction, but one towers over all the rest: Dracula (1897). Told in letters, diaries and news clippings, it fixed the modern vampire in the popular imagination and became one of the most adapted stories in any medium. Stoker, business manager to the actor Henry Irving, gave Gothic horror its most enduring myth.
