- Although legendary writer Bram Stoker spent his formative years in Ireland, he isn't always seen as a Dubliner.
However, he grew up in Marino, went to Trinity, and worked in Dublin Castle for several years before moving to London - and some of his experiences may have provided inspiration for Dracula.
We went on a whistle-stop tour around Dublin with Donal Fallon, local historian and the man behind ComeHereToMe.com, to find out more about the Gothic writer's connections to Dublin. Watch it above.

Who was Bram Stoker?
Here are some stylized quotes for the fans:

Ok he was born in Dublin. . . but come on. .. He was never a Dubliner. .. He spoke with an English accent. . . and Trinity thought him English ways. .. If I was born in China of Irish parents would I be Chinese?
Your comparison doesn't make sense. If you were born in China, to Chinese parents, educated in China, went to University in China, married in China and then lived shortly after marriage in China, I'd be pretty sure you would be regarded as Chinese, no matter where you went to live after that. Swap China for Dublin to describe Stoker who, as it happens spent more of his life in Dublin than both Oscar Wilde and W B Yeats did. Yet Stoker is disowned while the latter two have statues. Modern historians have suggested that Stoker was a symbol of a Victorian British Dublin and this didn't sit well with the narrative written post 1916 so a 'WestBrit' ideal has been built up around him when it would be fair to say, by these terms, over half of turn of the 20th Century Dublin would have been considered 'WestBrit'.
Dublin is really a brittish city now acting like a Irish city no offense. To any dubs out there.
