The Lair of the White Worm
by Bram Stoker
In the story of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world full of lurking horrors and bizarre denialists: a crazy enchanter who resembles hell to the mental love of the girl he loves; a giant kite that has been raised to save the world from the unnatural invasion of birds and receives strange commands on its thread; and all this time the great white worm is hovering downstairs, looking for its next victim ... Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and ingenious influences on terror literature.
