Bram Stoker and the Man Who Was Dracula
Barbara Belford
Da Capo Press, 2002
A biography of Bram Stoker and Henry Irving
If you open a copy of Bram Stoker and the Man Who Was Dracula you can see that the title page mentions a completely different title: Bram Stoker - A Biography of the Author of Dracula. To my opinion this title is much more relevant to the content of the book.
Indeed Barbara Belford draws an ...

The Lure of the Vampire: Gender, Fiction and Fandom from Bram Stoker to Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Milly Williamson
Wallflower Press, 2005
A great analysis of vampire fandom (as long as you're a scholar)
The Lure of the Vampire is, as the title suggests, a book about vampires. However, it's not about vampires per se, but rather an analysis of people who admire vampires and everything they stand for, people who have meticulously read every single book by Anne Rice about Louis and Lestat and her ...

From the Shadow of Dracula: A Life of Bram Stoker
Paul Murray
Pimlico, 2005
Excellent Biography
I was surprised at the style of this bio -- not purely chronological, that's for sure! Murray takes us through Bram's life, but shows us so many "links" and connections to well-known people of the time that I wish more could be uncovered about this surprising writer. As a young man he and his ...

Vampires, Mummies and Liberals: Bram Stoker and the Politics of Popular Fiction
David Glover
Duke University Press, 1996
Nearly a hundred years after its debut in 1897, Dracula is still one of the most popular of all Gothic narratives, always in print and continually adapted for stage and screen. Paradoxically, David Glover suggests, this very success has obscured the historical conditions and authorial circumstances of the novel’s production. By way of a long overdue return to the novels, short stories, ...
