Bram Stoker is an obscure British psychedelic/progressive group that was formed in 1969.They gained a cult following in the early 70's, and released an album in 1972 entitled 'Heavy Rock Spectacular'.' The band was known for its dark and intense sound, largely driven by Tony Bronsdon's Hammond organ textures and leads. They have often been called a "Gothic" progressive rock band, while others emphasize on the similarities to Keith Emerson's "The Nice". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Bram+Stoker">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

  • Do not grieve for her! Who knows, but she may have found the joy she sought? Love and patience are all that make for happiness in this world; or in the world of the past or of the future; of the living or the dead. She dreamed her dream; and that is all that any of us can ask.
  • We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.
  • Listen to them — the children of the night. What music they make.
  • No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.
  • Despair has its own calms.
  • One and all we felt that the holy calm that lay like sunshine over the wasted face and form was only an earthly token and symbol of the calm that was to reign for ever.

Encyclopedic overview

Abraham Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish writer, barrister, and theatre manager. He was the author of Dracula (1897) and the creator of the fictional character Count Dracula. The novel and its antagonist are milestones in the fields of Gothic and vampire literature.

Stoker was the third of seven children and was bedridden for the first seven years of his life with an undiagnosed illness. He received his initial education at home, before enrolling at Trinity College Dublin in 1864. He excelled as a rugby athlete and was a prominent member of both the university's student union and the philosophical society. It was also during this period that Stoker was introduced to literature, becoming the auditor of the society and writing his first paper.
