Bram Stoker (1847-1912) wrote tales of Gothic horror, adventure, and mystery. His novel Dracula, first published in 1897, codified the lore and legendary of the vampire for most vampire fiction written since its publication. Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was renowned for his cover art and illustrated books, many of which he wrote himself. He was celebrated for his excursions into the macabre and won a Tony Award for Best Costume Design for the 1977 revival of Dracula on Broadway.
