Collaborations
The Estate welcomes conversations with creative partners, museums, publishers, researchers, and broadcasters interested in Bram Stoker and his work. Our aim is to help tell his story accurately, raise Bram’s profile and share appropriate historical material with new audiences.
Work with the Estate
A project may begin with a historical question, a publication, an exhibition proposal or a design idea. Tell us what you are planning, your audience and timetable, and the material or support you hope to discuss. The Estate can consider each enquiry and help identify relevant collections or sources.
Access to an object, reproduction rights, a loan, an endorsement or a trade mark are separate matters. Availability depends on ownership, permissions and the nature of the project. Use Contact and choose the relevant enquiry type.
Selected creative projects
Recent design projects have drawn on Bram’s writing, the first edition of Dracula and details of his life. Those featured below explore that continuing cultural interest.
Montblanc – Writers Edition Homage to Bram Stoker (2026)
Each year Montblanc’s Writers Edition celebrates one of the world’s great authors; previous honourees include Goethe and Agatha Christie, and Bram’s friends Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. The 2026 edition, launched on 1 July 2026, is dedicated to Bram. The family worked closely with Montblanc’s designers in Hamburg and Paris, and the pens draw on details of Bram’s life as well as the novel: the Lyceum Theatre, the Stoker coat of arms, Celtic knots drawn by his sister Matilda, and the Arts and Crafts movement. The shape of some of the pens is based on the Victorian Pravaz syringe, a nod to the medical science that runs through Dracula.
The project photographs show the pens together and in close detail, alongside images from the visit to Montblanc. They offer a way to follow the passage from literary references to designed objects.
| Edition | Theme | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Limited Edition | The moment after the vampire’s bite: marbled red and black resin, with two small marks above the clip. Bram’s signature is engraved on the cap. | Limited production run |
| Limited Edition 1897 | Named for the year of publication. The Count’s transformation into a bat; the cone recalls the columns of the Lyceum Theatre and the nib bears the masks of comedy and tragedy. Presented with a facsimile of Bram’s letter to the singer David Bispham. | 1,897 pieces |
| Limited Edition 93 | Bram’s fascination with science and medicine, with Matilda’s Celtic knots and the Stoker family crest. | 93 pieces |
| Limited Edition 8 | The most elaborate piece, rooted in the Arts and Crafts movement, with garlic and wild-rose flowers. | 8 pieces |
The collection is completed by a purple ink, inspired by the velvet lining of an old Pravaz syringe case, a black velvet notebook embossed with the Limited Edition 8 flowers, and steel and jasper cufflinks. See montblanc.com.
Dior – The Book Cover Collection (2025)
In 2025, for his debut collection as Creative Director of Dior, Jonathan Anderson reimagined the house’s Dior Book Tote as a series of first-edition book covers. Dracula led the line-up, with the yellow and red 1897 first-edition cover recreated on the Book Tote and the Dior Saddle Bag. Dior first revealed the Dracula tote on its Instagram on 20 June 2025, and the collection reached boutiques worldwide in January 2026. Like Bram, Anderson is Irish; he has said he discovered that Bram was Irish when he moved to Dublin and walked down Kildare Street, past a house where Bram had lived.
Other titles in the collection include James Joyce’s Ulysses, Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal, Capote’s In Cold Blood and Dior by Dior.
