About this eBook

Author Stoker, Bram, 1847-1912
Title The Lair of the White Worm
Credits Transcribed form the 1911 W. Foulsham & Co. Ltd. edition by David Price
Summary "The Lair of the White Worm" by Bram Stoker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces Adam Salton, a young Australian who travels to England to visit his grand-uncle, Richard Salton, who wishes to reconnect with his family and make Adam his heir. As the relationship between the two develops, they navigate the family’s estate and the local history, setting the stage for deeper explorations of supernatural and historical legacies intertwined with the land. The opening of the book sets up Adam's arrival and his warm reception at the Empire Club in Sydney and subsequently by his grand-uncle in England. The narrative quickly establishes Adam's character as one eager for familial connections and adventure in his ancestral homeland. The story unfolds as Adam learns about Britain's Roman and Mercian history, with a focus on the mysterious and somewhat sinister background surrounding the Caswall family, the estate called Castra Regis, and the enigmatic Lady Arabella March. The early chapters weave together themes of kinship and supernatural curiosity, hinting at the darker elements that will arise from the mythos of a monstrous identity linked to the novel’s title.
