Bram Stoker is an Irish novelist and short story writer. His most famous and well known piece was Dracula, which was adapted into a successful film titled after the novel.
Yes, Bram Stoker was religious. He was raised in the Protestant Church of Ireland and maintained his religious beliefs throughout his life. His religious background influenced some of the themes in his writing, including the struggle between good and evil.
Dracula was first written about in 1897 by Bram Stoker. He is the one that started it all. Although Dracula is a work of fiction it does contain some historical references.However, it must be noted that 25 years prior to Bram Stoker's Dracula a Gothic Novella was published by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu in 1872. It tells the story of a young woman's susceptibilaty to the attentions of a female vampire "Carmilla". As stated, "Carmilla" (also the title) predates Bram Stoker, however, it is about a female "vampire" and not specifically "Dracula" himself.The legend (as most of us know it today) was originated from Bram Stokers 1897 Novel.
"There remains some controversy about what killed Bram Stoker on 20 April 1912. Stoker's nephew Daniel Farson published a biography in 1975 in which he suggested that the death certificate stating one of the causes of death as 'Locomotor Ataxy 6 months', a euphemistic way of avoiding public notice of citing the sexually transmitted disease syphilis. Stoker had previously suffered a series of strokes. Stoker's cremated remains are located at Golders Green Crematorium in London."
His first novel, The Primrose Path, was published in 1875. He had written some stories that were published before that, starting in 1872.

Sir Henry Irving (1838 - 1905) was the first English actor to be knighted.His friend and business manager for 30 years was Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, and it has been said that Stoker based some of Dracula's character on Irving.
My honest opinion on this one is that it was actually never named. It has become known is some statements as 'Dr. Seward's Asylum for the Mentally Ill'. But that is about where it ends.
Later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake.
The character of "Dracula" is fictional - there are no such things as human vampires. It is thought that Stoker took some of his ideas and themes from stories of tyrannical Hungarian and Roumanian kings and princes of long ago, some of whom were partial to impaling their enemies on poles in the market square, but that is all. There is no Frankenstein's monster, either.
According to the article "A Wilde Desire Took Me": The Homoerotic History of Dracula" by Talia Schaffer (http://www.jstor.org/stable/view/2873274?seq=1), Bram Stoker was a closeted, but aware, homosexual, and friends with both Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman before the late 1890's. However after the trials he claimed that all gay writers should be imprisioned. I don't know much more about the whole thing, but came across this page whilst doing my own research and thought it may be a help to you too. However, it should be noted that most academics generally either do not consider Stoker homosexual, or they do not address the subject. Stoker's sexual orientation has never been confirmed as either homo- or heterosexual.
