From: Free Thinking Doggie
Grok: Bram Stoker visited Whitby in the summer of 1890 (late July to August), and this holiday proved pivotal for his novel Dracula (published in 1897). He stayed at Mrs Veazey’s guesthouse at 6 Royal Crescent on West Cliff, recommended by his employer, actor Henry Irving. While there, he gathered atmospheric settings, local details, a key name, and story elements that shaped the book.
