	Bram Stoker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abraham "Bram" Stoker (November 8, 1847–April 20, 1912) was an Irish writer, best remembered as the author of the influential horror novel Dracula.
		Stoker married Florence Balcome, a former girlfriend of Oscar Wilde, in 1878.
		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.

	Article: Naming the Stars: The Awards of Science Fiction (part 1 of 2), by Greg Beatty
		Each award is given to recognize a specific type of achievement in the field; each is also given in memory of a giant in science fiction.
		The award used to include a thousand pounds sterling, but in 2001 the award went up to £2001 (to acknowledge the centrality of Clarke's 2001), and it will increase a pound a year to keep pace with the year.
		As the list of awards and deaths indicates, these awards also recognize a sort of passing of the guard, a sense that the early founders are passing on and that their memories should be kept alive.

	Amazon.com: Bram Stoker: A Biography of the Author of Dracula: Books: Barbara Belford (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Stoker was such a mild-mannered, secretive man that the real subject of this acclaimed biography turns out to be the genesis of his novel Dracula, and Irving--the man who, according to Barbara Belford, inspired its famous monster.
		Bram Stoker's son claimed that the plot of Dracula (1897) came to his father "in a nightmarish dream after eating too much dressed crab." Despite some melodramatic prose, that comment is as exciting as this biography of Stoker (1847-1912) gets.
		Barbara Belford's "Bram Stoker: A Biography of the Author of Dracula" is considered to be the most scholarly and thorough of the 3 Bram Stoker biographies that have been published.
