Bram Stoker became a well known socialite & member of the British Aristocratic class & the book was a smash hit upon release. Bram Stoker went on to write numerous other novels, none of them however, as well known as Dracula. The Supernatural horror story that was researched for a decade by Stoker, before completion, launched a whole genre of horror stories, that are still as popular today as they were in the late 19th Century.
