125 Years Of Dracula Coming To Angels Camp
In celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the release of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Stoker’s great grand-nephew Dacre Stoker will appear at the The Bret Harte Theater (a.k.a. Dr. Elliott A. Smart Performing Arts Center) in Angels Camp, Tuesday evening, October 4, 2022.
Stoker was Thursday’s KVML’s “Newsmaker of the Day”.
This very special event is called “Stoker on Stoker, the Mysteries Behind the Research and Writing of Dracula”.
The evening will include an 80-minute presentation chronicling the past ten years of Dacre Stoker’s life as he searched through libraries, archives and family papers to create a riveting historical retrospective which shares an in-depth look at the events in Bram Stoker’s life that lead to him writing Dracula.
Dacre Stoker is an international best-selling co-author of Dracula the Un-Dead (Dutton, 2009), the official Stoker family endorsed sequel to Dracula.
Dracul, a prequel to Dracula, also co-authored with JD Barker, became the UK’s # 1 Best Selling Hardcover Novel in Horror and Supernatural soon after its October 2018 release. Film rights for Dracul have been optioned by Paramount Studios.
After Dacre’s presentation, VIP ticket holders may purchase copies of Dacre’s books, have them autographed and pose for snapshots in a meet-and-greet with the author.
