1925 The Lair of the White Worm
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding
The first Foulsham abridged edition. The novel was first published by Rider and Son in 1911, to very bad reviews. This 1925 edition is a highly abridged and rewritten version, shortened by 100 pages, and with 28 chapters rather than the original 40.
'The Lair of the White Worm' is a horror novel based on the legend of the Lambton Worm. It's is sometimes considered to be one of the worst books ever written, and was published to highly negative reviews.
With an advertisement leaf to the rear.
The novel was loosely adapted into a film in 1988 by Ken Russell.
H. P. Lovecraft stated that Stoker 'utterly ruins a magnificent idea by a development almost infantile'.
