The late Robert Eighteen-Bisang, owner of the world’s largest private collection of vampire books, was an authority on Dracula and vampire literature. He was a member of the Horror Writers Association and lived in Vancouver, British Columbia. The late Elizabeth Miller, professor emeritus (Memorial University of Newfoundland), was recognized internationally as a leading Stoker and Dracula scholar. She lectured regularly on both sides of the Atlantic and published several books. She lived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
