Fun Fact:

In Dracula, Abraham Helsing is often mentioned as a favorite character. I tend to think he was Bram Stoker's favorite, too. He even gave the character his own name.

That's right, “Bram” was a nickname for Abraham Stoker.

But wait, there's more.

Bram may have fancied himself the polymath professor, but when we compare personality traits, the character Bram most wrote himself into, intentionally or not, was Mina.
