Bram Stoker is the little-known author of one of the most famous books ever written. He has been eclipsed by the creature of his imagination, Count Dracula, the greatest vampire of them all. In his lifetime, too, Stoker was eclipsed - by the dominating personality of Sir Henry Irving, the actor. Stoker became Irving's manager, and served him with total devotion. Daniel Farson has a special interest in Stoker, who was his great-uncle, and he has visited Transylvania to trace the origins of Stoker's strange obsessions.
