Stoker also wrote other novels and short stories—mostly horror—worth discovering: the Egyptian-revival chill of The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903), the posthumous collection Dracula’s Guest (1914), the coastal mystery and prophecy of The Mystery of the Sea (1902), Balkan gothic in The Lady of the Shroud (1909), and late-career weirdness in The Lair of the White Worm (1911). For a quick jolt, read the classic short story The Judge’s House; for a curiosity outside horror, the romantic adventure Lady Athlyne (1908).

The influence of Dracula helped establish many traits we associate with vampires today—an insistent hunger for blood, vulnerability by day, and the dance between superstition and science—making Stoker a cornerstone of modern horror. During his lifetime, he was also known as the personal assistant to the actor Sir Henry Irving and manager of London’s Lyceum Theatre, roles that sharpened his feel for atmosphere, staging, and suspense on the page.
