What Killed Bram Stoker?

Failed to mention that in Stoker's Wilde, the storyline keeps pointing out that Stoker is a real straight arrow, always wanting to do the proper, middle-class thing, like vampire hunting. (A brief affair, in the book, with the actress Ellen Terry--very brief because he wasn't that sort of guy.)  I didn't know much about the real Stoker so I looked him up...in a séance.  No, not really. I googled him up like everybody else. He died of syphilis, folks. This straight arrow died of a sexually transmitted disease. Of course, a lot of people died of it before penicillin, but still... And, he was in the theater business and theater people have a reputation, whether deserved or not. But, syphilis. A sad way to die. I wish he'd been bitten by a vampire instead and was still around writing books. Hey, that's a good idea for a novel. Or a short story. Or a blog post.
