Stoker, Bram (Abraham) (1847–1912), born in Dublin, was for 27 years secretary and touring manager to Sir H. Irving, an experience that produced Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving (1906). Stoker wrote a number of novels and short stories, as well as some dramatic criticism, but is chiefly remembered for Dracula (1897), a tale of vampirism influenced by ‘Carmilla’, one of the stories in Le Fanu's In a Glass Darkly (1872).
