Abraham Stoker was born in Ireland, and remained constantly ill until he turned eight. After his recovery, he became a star soccer player for his school, and went on to graduate and become a civil servant. Dissatisfied with this, he became a journalist and drama critic. "Dracula," his most famous novel, was written to supplement his low income; he wrote several other books, but none are nearly as well-known as his first. His novels all carry supernatural themes of death and resurrection, possibly inspired by his long periods of illness as a child.
