I was thrilled to meet many Irish Stoker relatives for the first time and also to experience how my great grand uncle Bram Stoker was respected in his native Dublin. I was however surprised at the lack of permanent “markers” in either Clontarf or Dublin in honour of Bram which could function as a focal point for tourists and locals alike to remember Bram’s writing of Dracula (1897) a very significant contribution to Gothic Literature.  \nIn the years since my first visit I am proud to say that many others must have felt the same way that I did, as now there are a number of wonderful tangible items appropriately recognizing Bram in and around Dublin. There is a plaque honouring Bram outside the building where Bram worked in Dublin Castle, a portrait of Bram by Aiden Hickey commemorating Bram as a founding member of the Dublin Painting and Sketching Club, and a bronze bust of Bram on display in the Dublin Writers Museum. There is an additional bust at St Anne’s Church created by Beatrice Stewart a cousin of the Dublin Stokers.  \nThe Central Bank of Ireland issued in 2018 a commemorative coin honouring Bram and the Irish Post Office issued a series of lovely stamps in 2012 on the anniversary of Bram’s death, the images on both items were drawn by local artist David Rooney.  \nI am thrilled that the Bram Stoker Festival is going strong as is the Northside’s “Big Scream” Halloween event started in 2018, both of these are family friendly events which continue to remind participants of the influence that Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula has had on popular culture, few novels can claim such widespread appeal throughout the world.  \nThis very informative pamphlet by Hugo McGuinness traces Bram’s beginnings and the possible influences on his writing of many of his short stories and novels to the different neighbourhoods that Bram and his family lived, worked and went to school in. Together with  \nthe Dracula mural and the wooden plaque honouring Bram Stoker on Buckingham street this worthy effort continues the trend to establish places where people are reminded of the presence of Bram and his legacy in literature and popular culture.  \nI am convinced that Bram was a very sensitive person, a person very keenly aware of everything going on around him. He recorded many observations in his journal of what might be considered by others as insignificant sights, sounds, and feelings which he experienced in various locations between the years 1871 and 1878. Some of these entries he used in stories later in his life.  \nIn addition to detailed research in Marsh’s Library, London Library and the British Museum, I think Bram was always on the lookout for good story material from locals. When in Whitby in Yorkshire and Cruden Bay, Scotland, Bram used to spend time with local fishermen and members of the coastguard toglean the latest tales of rescue or adventure, it is natural to assume that he would have sought similar insight for his writing in his own neighborhoods. Just as Bram appears to have taken bits of Slains Castle in Scotland and Bran Castle in Southern Transylvania to create the desired atmosphere for his Castle Dracula in the Calimani National Park near the Borgo Pass in Northern Transylvania, it appears to me that the Northside of Dublin provided plenty of macabre material for Bram’s fertile sense of imagination to use in Dracula and his other stories.  \nDacre Stoker  \nSeptember 14th 2019  \nCount Dracula  \nTEXT  \nHUGO MCGUINNESS  \nILLUSTRATION  \nJOHN D.
