Episode 265
๐๐ฆ England, 1897.
The gas lamps flicker through the London fog. ๐จ๐ฎ Horse-drawn carriages clatter over wet cobblestones. ๐๐ง๏ธ The British Empire is at its heightโan age of invention, progress, and discovery. โ๏ธ๐๐
But when darkness falls, another world emerges. ๐
In quiet parlours and candlelit rooms, people still whisper tales of ghosts ๐ป, curses โฐ๏ธ, and strange creatures lurking beyond the edge of civilisation. ๐บ๐ฒ
And somewhere in this world sits an Irish writer with a vivid imagination and a fascination with the unknown. โ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ช
His name is Bram Stoker.
Few people know it yet, but he is about to unleash a character who will haunt popular culture for generations. ๐ฉธ๐ฆ๐ฐ
A mysterious count.
A distant castle.
A journey into the darkness.
๐ Dracula is coming.
More than a century later, vampires fill our books, films, and television screens. ๐ฌ๐๐ง But before Dracula became immortal, there was simply Bram Stokerโa sickly child in Dublin, listening to stories, dreaming of adventure, and unknowingly creating one of the most famous monsters in history.
๐ฏ๏ธ This is a short history of Bram Stoker.
