I have -- if I may understate the matter -- a few fountain pens.

And I have always preferred Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" to just about every theatrical and cinematic version of the story that's been made.

But I have limits.

ACME (not to be confused with the manufacturing firm patronized by Wile E. Coyote in his futile pursuit of the Roadrunner) is a company that has for a couple of decades or so been making pens that feature designs created by famous architects and designers, from Frank Lloyd Wright to Karim Rashid. It has also of late expanded its wares to include pens that commemorate various pop culture icons -- a whole host of objects emblazoned with the names and faces of the Beatles, for example.

The latest thing ACME has created is a pen to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bram Stoker's death.


I've seen some pretty bizarre pens being sold for astronomical prices, but this thing is....beyond bizarre.
