Description

Bram Stoker’s The Lair of the White Worm is a gothic horror novel blending supernatural terror, ancient evil, and Victorian anxiety. When Adam Salton discovers a mysterious female noblewoman living in isolation on a remote estate, he uncovers a dark secret: Lady Arabella March is a monstrous serpent-worshipping priestess, a centuries-old entity tied to a prehistoric white worm buried beneath the land. As gruesome deaths and eerie occurrences escalate, Salton teams with occult experts to confront the creature before it unleashes destruction. Fusing elements of folklore, vampirism, and cosmic horror, the novel is a wild, imaginative tale of good versus primordial evil. Less restrained than Dracula, it showcases Stoker’s flair for the grotesque and the uncanny in a uniquely bizarre and thrilling narrative.

Author

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) wrote Dracula and then had to live in its shadow. An Irishman in London, he kept Irving's theatre running by day and, by night, invented a vampire who travels by timetable and feeds on paperwork as much as blood. The novel is a collage of voices; the monster is organised. Later cinema gave him a look; Stoker gave him a method. Twenty titles sit here, most of them quieter than the one that named a genre.
