Dracula
Bram Stoker initially composed works of fantasy and romance. He first learned about Dracula from a Budapest man named Professor Arminius Wam Berry. The name Dracula impressed Bram. The memory of reading myths and stories like Frankenstein, Varney the Vampire and The Feast of Blood came to his mind. Combining all this, Bram became interested in writing a horror story called Dracula. Dracula was born at a time when the stories of Sherlock Holmes were gaining popularity. Bram, who had never visited Transylvania or Romania, set the stage for the story. In 1887, Stoker describes the story taking place.
Stoker Dracula's work began in 1887. It was published in 1897 in its tenth year. Peter Heininger has testified that some of the events in Stoker were inspired by the events of that time in the 1987 issue of The Centenary Book. In September and October 1887, some extraordinary events were reported in London. One such incident was the year when Queen Victoria of London celebrated its Jubilee. The other is that Clark has released a special blood blend. The advertisement appeared in the Times at the time. Stories about a man who drinks blood have been circulating in the media. The Centenary Book describes all these events as inspiration for Stoker.
The first book was titled The Un-Dead. However, he later wrote the same style except for the book Jewel of the Seven Stars. Stoker is only known as the creator of Dracula.
