The Lair of the White Worm

A Masterpiece of Terror From The Author of Dracula Deep beneath the old house of Diana’s Grove a primeval creature waits patiently to complete its ancient task of destruction – a creature that achieves its deadly aims in the human guise of a woman…“She tore off her clothes, with feverish fingers, and in full enjoyment of her natural freedom, stretched her slim figure in animal delight. Then she lay down on the sofa – to await her victim! Edgar Caswell’s life blood would more than satisfy her for some time to come.”In a tale of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world of lurking horrors and bizarre denizens: a demented mesmerist, hellbent on mentally crushing the girl he loves; a gigantic kite raised to rid the land of an unnatural infestation of birds, and which receives strange commands along its string; and all the while, the great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim.Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and masterful influences on the literature of terror. The spine-chilling The Lair of the White Worm features a monstrous worm secreted for thousands of years in a bottomless well and able to metamorphose into a seductive woman of a reptilian beauty who survives on her victims life blood. The novel contains some of Stokers most graphic and grisly moments of horror.
