Customer Reviews
Despite being flawed, it is supremely entertaining and rich in atmosphere! - Rated "The Lair of the White Worm" was Bram Stokers last book, published in 1911. At this time Stoker suffered from gout, and probably syphilis. This work shows clear signs of being written under mental stress of some kind, as some passages must be read closely in order to make sense of them. Despite this, this final outing from the creator of Dracula, is very entertaining, very atmospheric, and is filled up with wierd characters and strange and horrible happenings. The story begins with our hero Adam Salton arriving in England, from Australia. It is the time of the Colonial British Empire.He is to stay in rural England, with his great uncle Richard Salton and his friend Sir Nathaniel de Salis. Soon, however, it becomes clear that the idyllic place of Mercia, hides a dark secret; an ancient evil thing that seems to attract devilry from all kinds of places. The novel is permeated with fear and revulsion of dementia, metabolism, voodoo-practice and more of the kind. Beneath it all is the horror that deep down under the social layers of sophisticated Victorian England, there are primitive unhallowed powers at work in the human race. Evolution or degeneration? That is the question. This may not be Stokers strongest work, but for fans of ghost-and-gaslight stories, this is an absolute must. Its feels like observing a strange and incoherent nightmare, and somehow, knowing that Stokers greatest work, Dracula, was inspired by a bad dream, it really fascinates me to enter into this wierd tale. Buyer beware! - Rated This is not so much a review as a warning: this edition has been "bowdlerised" to remove certain words which the editor feels are "racist and ugly"; words which mature, intelligent and adjusted readers would understand in the context of a book written in 1911. The book is still completely readable, but this annoyed me and I would not have bought this edition had I known it was a bowdlerised text.
