About this ebook

Something evil is lurking under the ground in Diana’s Grove. Summoned by his great-uncle, Richard Salton, Adam Salton travels to Lesser Hill, Mercia, only to find himself surrounded by evil. Be it the Castra Regis’s mesmeric assault on Lilla Watford, a child’s mysterious wounds, the lady Arabella March’s murder of Oolanga, or the terrifying white worm that dwells in a pit in Arabella’s house, Adam must work quickly to save himself and the other inhabitants of the area.

Also known as The Garden of Evil, The Lair of the White Worm was originally published in 1911, just one year before Bram Stoker’s death. It has been adapted for film.

Ratings and reviews

Haven't started reading yet, but Stoker's novels always bring me some kind of peace, as he writes in such a beautiful style. Highly recommend his works if you're looking for a tranquil yet misterious story.

Very good but you can tell Stoker tried to copy the success of Dracula with this.

About the author

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) grew up in Ireland listening to his mother's tales of blood-drinking fairies and vampires rising from their graves. He later managed the Lyceum Theatre in London and worked as a civil servant, newspaper editor, reporter, and theater critic. Dracula, his best-known work, was published in 1897 and is hailed as one of the founding pieces of Gothic literature.
