Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was born in Dublin in Ireland. A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, Stoker was inspired to write Dracula when he met Armin Vámbéery, an Hungarian writer, who told Stoker tales of the Carpathian Mountains. This inspired Stoker to study European folklore and the history of vampires.
Mary Shelley was only eighteen when Lord Byron challenged a group of friends to write the best horror story. She fleshed out her original and this was accepted for publication when she was just twenty. Shelley wrote several novels after Frankenstein but none of them has stood the test of time, although in her lifetime she was taken seriously as a writer, especially of biographies. She died in 1851, thirty years after the tragic early death of her husband Percy.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish writer. His most famous works include 'Treasure Island' (1883) and 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' (1886).
