Long description:
Abraham Stoker was an Irish author who wrote the 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of the famous Shakespearean actor Sir Henry Irving and the business manager of the West End's Lyceum Theatre, which Irving owned. In his early years, Stoker worked as a theatre critic for an Irish newspaper, and wrote stories as well as commentaries. Since his death, his magnum opus Dracula has become one of the best-known works in English literature, and the novel has been adapted for numerous films and plays. Stoker's stories are today included in the categories of horror fiction, romanticized Gothic stories, and melodrama. They are classified alongside other works of popular fiction, such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which also used the myth-making and story-telling method of having multiple narrators telling the same tale from different perspectives. Collected here are nine BBC Radio productions of Stoker works, plus a drama by Joseph O'Connor which explores the close collaboration and intense friendship between Bram Stoker and Henry Irving. Dracula Bram Stoker's masterpiece: a disturbing vampire tale of horror. An all-action adventure story, with ghosts, ghouls, lunatics, and seriously gripping chase sequences.
