Giới thiệu về tác giả

Abraham ‘Bram’ Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish author, best known for his 1897 Gothic horror novel, ‘Dracula’. This masterpiece of Victorian literature created one of the most timeless characters in the realm of horror, Count Dracula, and established Stoker as a central figure in the genre. Before penning ‘Dracula’, Stoker was a respected theatre critic and manager for the famous actor Henry Irving’s Lyceum Theatre in London. It was during these years that he began his writing career. Although ‘Dracula’ is Stoker’s most renowned work, he was a prolific writer who authored several novels and short stories. These include ‘The Lair of the White Worm’ and ‘The Lady of the Shroud’. His contributions to the gothic narrative include his penchant for blending folklore with historical contexts. The book ‘The Mythology and History of Witchcraft’ delves into the complex and often misunderstood topic of witchcraft, combining Stoker’s narrative talent with meticulous research to present readers with both an enlightening and chilling experience. Stoker’s literary style is marked by its gothic atmosphere, intricate detail, and exploration of the supernatural. His works have been cited as a profound influence on subsequent horror and fantasy writers and have cemented his legacy as a foundational pillar in these genres.
