Dacre Stoker – what a great name! Not only is this bloke related to Bram Stoker (in itself another great name) but his name actually sounds scary and rather threatening.

Richard Davies / Dacre Stoker….hmmm.

Dacre Stoker delved into his ancestor’s handwritten notes on the original Dracula novel to pen his sequel, Dracula: The Un-Dead – the original name for Dracula before an editor changed the title. The novel, out next October, draws on excised characters, existing character back-stories and plot threads that were cut from Stoker’s original novel, first published 111 years ago.
