Guardians of the Abbey
Bram Stoker, a Victorian writer and theatre manger, holidayed in Whitby in 1890. Like so many, he was smitten by the Romantic splendour of the ruined abbey, St Mary’s Graveyard and the many bats which flitted around the churches of the town.
Following a visit to Whitby Library, originally near the Quayside, he read 'An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia' and thus armed, went on to create the Gothic novel, par excellence, Dracula.
Here I have married two of Stoker’s inspirations – the abbey and the bats – to a full moon, to create a classic Gothic piece.
