Bram Stoker
Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born on November 8th, 1847, in a suburb of Dublin, Ireland. He was the third born of seven children of Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornely and Abraham Stoker. As a child he was often ill and spent majority of his time in bed attempting to get healthy again which it is where it is speculated that his occult method of thinking came into play. But he was recovered by 1864 and began to attend Trinity College in Dublin, from where he received honours in Science, Mathematics, Oratory, History and Composition. In 1870, Stoker decided to go the civil service with the Dublin Castle. By 1878, Stoker had returned from his civil service and had married Florence Balcombe, and together they had the son Irving Noel Thornley.
Some novels other than Dracula that Stoker has written include "Crystal Cup", "The Chain of Destiny", "The Snake’s Pass", "The Lair of the White Worm", "The Censorship of Fiction" , "The Censorship of Stage Plays", "Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving", "The Slim Syrens", "Mick the Devil", "A Star Trap", "A Glimpse of America", "The Primrose Path", "The Watter's Mou" , "The Shoulder of Shasta", "Miss Betty" and "Under the Sunset."
Sadly, after becoming ill in 1906, Bram Stoker passed away from what is assumed to be syphilis on April 20th, 1912. His ashes are currently in Golders Green Crematorium and he was survived by his wife by at least 25 years.
