Bram Stoker Horror Stories (Gothic Fantasy)

About the Author

Abraham ‘Bram’ Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847. Often ill during his childhood, he spent much time in bed listening to his mother’s grim stories, sparking his imagination. Stoker wrote several stories based on supernatural horror, such as the compelling The Lair of the White Worm, and the most well-known of all his works, the Gothic masterpiece Dracula.
