  Bram Stoker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stoker married Florence Balcome, a former girlfriend of Oscar Wilde, in 1878.
Bram Stoker died on April 20, 1912 in London and was interred at Golders Green Crematorium, London.
The name of Stoker's count was originally going to be Count Vampyre, but while doing research Stoker ran across an intriguing name: "Dracula", meaning "Son of the Dragon" or "Son of the Devil." This name belonged to a real 15th century nobleman, Prince Vlad Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler.

After a brief stint in the US Army overseas, where he began writing horror stories to entertain his fellow soldiers, he moved to Colorado where he launched his career in publishing to much success.

 Bram Stoker Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Several members of the HWA—including Dean Koontz—were reluctant to endorse such writing awards, fearing it would incite competitiveness rather than friendly admiration.
The HWA therefore went to lengths to avoid mean-spirited competition: They agreed to specifically seek out new and neglected writers and works, and officially issue awards not based on "best of the year" criteria, but "for superior achievement", which allows for frequent ties.

 The Literary Gothic | Bram Stoker
Stoker wrote a number of other novels and short stories, several of which (The Jewel of Seven Stars and Lair of the White Worm, to mention just a couple of the novels) also have major supernaturalist elements.
Another one of Stoker's sexually fraught tales - and another (like "The Judge's House" and Dracula) prominently featuring rats - this one features a hero on the verge of marriage (as was Stoker at the time he was writing this tale), a Parisian dump, and Olympic-caliber athleticism.
Stoker's 1909 return to a vampire theme, though in this case the vampirism turns out to be staged rather than real.

It's the man from the council; Beverley Jones meets the prolific Tim Lebbon, winner of this year's Bram Stoker Award for short fiction, whose peaceful day job belies his writing's piercing analyses of the dark human deeds.(Features)
But for prolific novelist Tim Lebbon, recipient of this year's Bram Stoker Award for short fiction, it provides more than enough inspiration to fill his books with dark words about dark deeds.
Unsurprisingly, to those who have read his work at least, Mr Lebbon himself is a perfect case in defence of the phrase ``still waters run deep''.
