writes reviews of various theater productions in Dublin. Bram Stoker and Sir
Henry Irving became friends and the latter gave him a managerial position at

Irving. There are times that he’ll write up to 50 letters per day, and because

etc. He can also transfer his condition to others by biting them in the throat.
