The Lair of the White Worm (1911) is a novel by Irish author Bram
Stoker. Published only a year before Stoker’s death, The Lair of
the White Worm helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic
horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth
century. The novel is partly based on the legend of the Lambton
Worm, a story from popular English folklore dating back to at least
the 14th century. In 1860, an Australian named Adam Salton is
contacted by his great-uncle, who invites him to make a visit to
England. Arriving by boat in Southampton, Salton is greeted by the
elderly Richard, who surprisingly names him heir of the family
estate in Derbyshire. When he gets to Lesser Hill, he is quickly
overwhelmed by terrifying and mysterious events. His neighbor,
Edgar Cawall, is a strange man obsessed with mesmerism and
protecting his crops from pigeons. At his own estate, Salton is
forced to use mongooses to combat an infestation of black snakes.
Meanwhile, a local woman named Arabella March appears to be
involved in a series of strange disappearances rumored to have
something to do with the legendary White Worm, an ancient creature
haunting the landscape of rural Derbyshire. The Lair of the White
Worm is a gripping work of Gothic horror by Bram Stoker, the
secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of
history’s greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram
Stoker’s The Lair of the White Worm is a classic of Irish
literature reimagined for modern readers.
