As a child, I would be asked, especially around Halloween, “Hey, are you related to that guy who wrote Dracula?” Even to this day people are usually surprised when I say, “Yes, I am his great-grandnephew.” George Stoker, my great-grandfather, was the youngest of seven Stoker siblings, and is said to have had the closest relationship with Bram.
