Bram Stoker was a Mathematical Horror mathematician born in 1847. Dracula spreads exponentially — he's a mathematical epidemic in a cape.
Dracula — epidemiological spread mathematics as gothic horror. This breakthrough changed the trajectory of mathematics at a time when the world was in the 19th century, the golden age of mathematical rigour.
The impact is still felt today. Vampire infection models are SIR models — Susceptible-Infected-Removed epidemiology.
