Descendants of the Dracula author are publishing his journal from his Trinity College, Dublin, days. For all of us horror fiction fans this is a boon.

But Stoker was more than the author of the world's biggest vampire; his best-known work wasn't published until after his death. For most of his life he managed the Lyceum Theatre in London. He wrote many stories, traveled, knew famous contemporaries- including 2 US presidents- and died at the age of 64; the cause of death disputable. He, himself, was larger than life and lives on in his undead creation.
