Bram Stoker
Dracula was the bloodsucking creation of Irish author Bram Stoker. The dark count from Transylvania was pretty catholic in the victims he desired, but his preference was for beautiful women. In Bram Stoker’s novel the women are portrayed as vampires or virgins – at this weekend’s Bram Stoker event one of the discussions is on women in Dracula. Sean was joined in studio by crime writer Jane Casey, author Martina Devlin and Dr. Jarlath Killeen, School of English TCD.
