What if beneath the quiet English countryside, something ancient and monstrous still stirred?
The Lair of the White Worm is Bram Stoker's most bizarre and transgressive novel-an unholy fusion of gothic horror, cryptic myth, and late-Victorian fears about science, gender, and degeneration. Inspired by the legend of the Lambton Worm, this story dives deep into a surreal world where evolutionary nightmares, hypnotic manipulation, and ancestral evil converge.
Adam Salton, a young Australian, travels to rural England to connect with his last surviving relative. But what he finds there is far from pastoral peace. A haunting estate. A well said to be bottomless. And a pale, elegant woman who seems too serpent-like to be human. As sinister events unfold and mysterious deaths mount, Adam and his allies must uncover the truth about a monstrous being that has survived the ages-and now threatens to rise again.
This modern translation brings new clarity and impact to Stoker's wildest work, preserving its twisted grandeur while refining the prose for contemporary readers.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
- A mythic horror tale rooted in English folklore and ancient legend
- A femme fatale whose beauty conceals unspeakable horror
- A battle of science, instinct, and ancestral fear
- A deeply gothic setting featuring haunted mansions, ancient ruins, and subterranean dread
- Bram Stoker's most experimental and controversial novel, presented with modern fluency
For fans of weird fiction, Lovecraftian horror, and gothic monstrosity, The Lair of the White Worm is a must-read resurrection of one of the strangest classics of the genre.
