Sale Starts:
The Lair of the White Worm captures the eerie imagination of Bram Stoker, blending ancient myth with Victorian dread. This gripping tale unfolds with a clear sense of menace, as a young Englishman uncovers a terrifying secret buried in the countryside. Stoker plunges readers into a chilling narrative where science, superstition, and survival collide.
Description
The novel follows Adam Salton, a young man who returns to England from Australia and quickly becomes entangled in a strange and sinister mystery. He befriends Sir Nathaniel de Salis, who introduces him to the local legends and warns him about the dangerous Lady Arabella March. Her cold demeanor and disturbing behavior mask an ancient horror connected to a monstrous white worm said to dwell beneath her estate.
As Adam investigates, he confronts increasingly bizarre occurrences, from mesmerism and psychic manipulation to animal mutilations and spectral visions. Stoker weaves tension and suspense through a narrative that pits modern rationality against archaic evil. The characters fight to uncover the truth and destroy the creature before it can strike again, culminating in a deadly confrontation with an ancient, near-mythical being.
