Bram Stoker 2012 Hp

Is that Dracula on Google’s home page today? Yes it is. Today is the 165th birthday of the late Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, a gothic novel.

Bram Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on November 8, 1847 and died at the age of 64 in London on April 20, 1912. To celebrate his life and bringing Dracula, one of the most famous stories, to the world, Google has a special Google Doodle for him.

When you click on the Google Doodle, the Google Dracula logo, you are taken to a search result for Bram Stoker books which shows off Google’s new carousel feature. This is similar to how Google implemented the Moby Dick Google logo.
