Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of novelist Bram Stoker, is organizing literary
expeditions to places that played an important role in his ancestor’s life and career as a
writer.
For the past 15+ years, Dacre has made a thorough analysis of his uncle's work
and discovered exciting details in his research.
During these trips we will visit places that played a big role in Bram Stoker's life, in his
research and writing of the novel. Some of the tours take us to the coastal town of
Whitby, with its iconic abbey ruins. Other itineraries are set to Cruden Bay in Scotland,
the picturesque fishing village where Bram wrote most of the novel. And some of our
literary travels take us to Dublin, Ireland, to explore Bram Stoker’s early life and career, as
well as richness of early Irish folklore and how it influenced gothic literature. There will be
several interesting stops on our journey, to provide a perspective of the history and
culture of the areas we visit.
Good to know before the tour!
Some of the hikes in Whitby and Cruden Bay, as well as the outdoor experiences in Ireland can be strenuous and will require waterproof, above the ankle, footwear. May’s weather in these regions are unpredictable, so waterproof rain gear and layers are recommended.
With international best-selling author Dacre Stoker.
