1.- Bram Stoker's: DRACULA

-Bram Stoker

1847-1912

Mysterious and tormented: that's what we know  about Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. And, indeed, that is how he must have been to imagine such a bloodthirsty creature. 104 years later, the author is perhaps not so well remembered but Dracula is certainly still as famous as ever. It's a case of a character that has "eliminated" his author!

Oscar wilde said: "the finest novel of the century!"

THE FORGOTTEN WRITER.   

Who could have imagined such a thing? 

What feverish, tormented, creepy imagination could the bloodiest novel of all times have come from? Who was the inventor of Count Dracula, the famous vampire that would end up terrifying the whole of England and the rest of the world?

-His name was Bram stoker, a practically unknown writer when his novel appeared in London in 1897. Dracula is his creation, the creature who has even managed to "vampirise " his author by becoming more famous than the man himself.

Dracula, the character, is now 115 years old, and is still going strong. The "number one vampire" regulary decides to come out of the dark to appear on TV, in comics or in the cinema (there are 80 films about this "adventures"!). What a great success this was for the obscure Bram Stoker, who wrote only one masterpiece in his whole life, and it was this one!
