Bram Stoker Estate account

Estate summary

Kirkus finds Barbara Belford’s biography constrained by the scarcity of revealing personal records. Its review considers Bram’s devotion to Irving and the difficulty of turning a largely supporting public role into a fully realised biographical portrait.

Kirkus review issue dated 1 March 1996; the book’s release date was 10 April, and the later online posting is separate. Relevant review text inspected.
