Charleston FRIENDS of the Library will host "Dracula in the Lowcountry," an evening with author and literary historian Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, for a special program exploring literary history, family legacy and the enduring influence of libraries.
During the event, Stoker will share insights into Bram Stoker’s travels to the Lowcountry and discuss how libraries helped shape the creation of Dracula, one of the most iconic novels in literary history. Organizers say the evening will offer a deeper look at the connections between place, research and storytelling that influenced the famed author’s work.
The program will also provide attendees an opportunity to meet Dacre Stoker, purchase his books and have them signed.
In addition, Charleston FRIENDS of the Library will host a pop-up book sale featuring a curated selection of South Carolina titles and horror-themed books.
Organizers describe the event as a rare opportunity for literature lovers to connect with a piece of literary heritage while supporting the library community.
