I am currently reading a book by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt called Dracula: The un-dead.
Stoker is a direct descendent of Bram Stoker who wrote the original Dracula. I think its pretty cool that after all this time a book was written by someone who is descended from Bram Stoker. But there is am sure added pressure on Dacre to do well with this book. From what I have read so far it is pretty good. The first time I heard that the actress Mariel Hemingway was descended from Ernest I was shocked. I believe even Anne Rice has a son that is also an author. But there are many who live in obscurity and are only found out about their heritage through chance. So chances are if you see someones last name that looks famous it maybe...or not. Ha!

My maiden name is Lee, and growing up, you would not believe how many people asked if I was related to Bruce Lee.
And in case you're wondering, the answer is no. I am related to Spike, though. Just kidding.
