  Bram Stoker - A Short Story...

  Abraham Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on the 8th of November 1847, the third of seven children.  
   
  His early years were plagued with such ill-health that he was unable to start school until the age of seven.  He turned the long periods of recovery into an opportunity for thinking and said “I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years”.  
   
  Strikingly at Trinity College, Dublin his health had returned with such vigour that he was named their University Athlete whilst also achieving a BA in Mathematics with honours.  
   
  At this time his interest in theatre became a job offer to be the Dublin Evening Mail’s theatre critic, co-owned by Sheridan Le Fanu.  He now began to also write short stories and in 1872 ‘The Crystal Cup’ was published.  An interest in art developed and he co-founded the Dublin Sketching Club.  
   
  In 1878 came marriage to Florence Balcombe.  She had formerly been courted by Stoker’s acquaintance, Oscar Wilde.  The marriage produced one child.   
   
  Stoker had some years before reviewed Henry Irving’s Hamlet and had dined with him.  That friendship now resulted in a proposal from Irving to move to London and to manage his Lyceum Theatre.  His numerous commercial innovations ensured both he and the theatre thrived.  Irving would also often take Stoker with him when he toured abroad. 
   
  Despite this busy life Stoker continued to write and these works paved the way for his most famous creation, published in 1897, ‘Dracula’.  It is rightly recognised as one of the greatest horror novels of all time and although not the first with a theme of Vampires, it is undoubtedly the most well-known. 
   
  Stoker also wrote poetry and many excellent short stories and continued to write novels and other works throughout his career. 
   
  Politically Stoker supported Home Rule, though only by peaceful means.  He was also keen on following scientific trends particularly in medicine. 
   
  In 1902 his tenure at the Lyceum Theatre ended and although he continued to write his health was deteriorating, mainly due to a series of debilitating strokes. 
   
  Bram Stoker died on the 20th April 1912, in Pimlico, London.  He was 64.

  "The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. 
   
  Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. 
   
  The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world’s stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held. 
   
  The Hives’ façade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that façade is slipping away. 
   
  Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone?Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints?scrambles to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war. 
   
  Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

  People are dying in the town of Sycamore. A string of grisly murders have shaken the quaint Canadian suburb, and the most recent crime scene might provide the first solid lead -- despite an easily fatal amount of blood, the victim is nowhere to be found. Most people would steer clear of a crime scene this gory, but to Private Investigator Felix Renn a missing persons investigation comes as a pleasant surprise. After a few run-ins with "Black Lands entities," Felix has developed an unwanted reputation as a monster hunter, and in a world where paranormal has become the norm, the opportunity to get back to simple human crime is almost refreshing. In Sycamore, though, Felix will find that darkness isn't so easy to escape.  
  A riveting blend of supernatural horror and crime fiction, SYCAMORE is the debut novel by Ian Rogers and the world-at-large's introduction to the Black Lands universe. Set in an alternate-history Earth where portals to a monster-filled parallel dimension began appearing around the turn of the 20th century, SYCAMORE sets the stage for a world of stories centering the things that emerge from our worst nightmares.
