The Lair of the White Worm

What do you get when an Australian finds his way to England? Hair-raising adventures, lots of madness and romance and some demented turns of fate! 'The Lair of the White Worm' is a horror tale by Bram Stoker, published in the author's last years. In a world where strange horrors lurk amidst bizarre creatures, the novel follows the life of Adam Salton, a well-off Australian, who is invited by his distant uncle to England, where things begin to get decidedly disturbing very quickly. A suspenseful and compelling read, Stoker's novel constantly offers cliffhangers and various twists and is a great suspense novel. A must-read for fans of Stoker, dragons, snakes and horror books. 'The Lair of the White Worm' was very loosely adapted by Ken Russell into a 1988 film of the same name featuring Hugh Grant and Amanda Donohoe.
