Biography
Stoker was born in Montreal, Quebec to Desmond Neil Stoker and E.G. Calder.[1] He is the great-grandnephew of Irish author Bram Stoker, the author of the 1897 Gothic novel Dracula.[2] He lived in his childhood in Montreal, Quebec[3] and attended the Bishop's College School.Шаблон:Dead link[4] He taught for several years at Appleby College.
Stoker is a former member of the Canadian men's pentathlon team.[5] He coached the team at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.[6]
Because of the Stokers' frustrating history with DraculaШаблон:'s copyright, Dacre, with encouragement from screenwriter Ian Holt, decided to write "a sequel that bore the Stoker name" to "reestablish creative control over" the original novel with the Stoker Estate. In 2009, Dracula the Un-dead was released, written by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. Both writers claim to have "based [their work] on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition" along with their own research for the sequel, though the plot and characters often directly contradict the original novel. This also marked Dacre Stoker's writing debut.[7][8] Winnipeg Free Press reviewer Kenneth MacKendrick called it "tempting enough to read and bad enough to be controversial, striking a balance between sensationalism and mediocrity".[5]
Stoker contributed to Dracula in Visual Media: Film, Television, Comic Book and Electronic Game Appearances, 1921–2010, along with Caroline Joan Picart, David J. Skal, J. Gordon Melton and John Edgar Browning.[9]
Stoker directed, produced and wrote the 2011 documentary film Dracula Meets Stoker.
In 2016, Stoker, with his colleague Hans C. De Roos, was working on a Bram Stoker/Dracula travel guide which will identify real-life locations mentioned in Stoker's novel as well as highlight the places Bram grew up in.[10]
In 2018, he released Dracul, a prequel to Dracula which he wrote alongside J. D. Barker.[11][12][13] Paramount has purchased the rights for the movie. Director Andy Muschietti, It producers Barbara Muschietti and Roy Lee have been hired to work on it.[14]
Personal life
Stoker lives with his wife, Jenne Stoker, and their two children in Aiken, South Carolina, where he is the executive director of the Aiken Land Conservancy.[3]
