Bram Stoker
In a tale of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world of lurking horrors and bizarre denizens: a demented mesmerist, hellbent on mentally crushing the girl he loves; a gigantic kite raised to rid the land of an unnatural infestation of birds, and which receives strange commands along its string; and all the while, the great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim....
Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and masterful influences on the literature of terror.

Editorial reviews
The Lair of the White Worm, by master horror maestro Bram Stoker, is a wild and sprawling tale of the supernatural. When Adam Salton is invited from his home in Australia inherit and live in the estate of his long-lost granduncle, the only other surviving member of his line, he has no idea the bizarre shocks in store for him. It’s no wonder that Ken Russell, director of Altered States, took it upon himself to adapt this surreal horror for the screen. Here, Oliver Wyman preforms this story of mythical beasts, mysterious killings, and dreamlike situations with a calm storyteller's resolve. Wyman’s clear delivery grounds the sometimes convoluted, but immensely imaginative, tale of a pit where a terrible beast lies in wait.

I appreciate how he incorporates elements of faith into his novels

Where does The Lair of the White Worm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This one is average, which is very good. That is why I am a Platinum Member. Very few disappointments with audible books. Wonderful narrator. Interesting story.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lair of the White Worm?
Lady Arabella gliding along. Creepy. Can't say more or give away the story.Have you listened to any of Oliver Wyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't recognize his name, but his Australian accent was right on for Adam.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Caswell tried to mesmerize the two sisters Lilla and Mimi and Lady Arabella and Oolanga try to help them, but Adam is able to stop them from hurting the girls. Wonderfully atmospheric.Any additional comments?
I had read Dracula and listened to the Audible version (which is excellent). I wanted to try more Stoker and was delighted to find this one. Next year, I will probably invest in his shorter stories. He was quite an author. A new favorite of mine.Spookier than Dracula!

However I saw a story that he was trying to tell and thought it was a good one. I saw very interesting characters and situation, that just didn't play out well here.
I think a very good screen play could come of this book. I checked - there was a movie made (sort of) from this book - well, that wasn't the right one. I honestly think I could probably sit down and make one from it, and if I had the time I would, I think there's a very good Van Helsing type story here, and the number of liberties I would have to take with the story to make it work are surprisingly small.
There's a good story here, but it didn't come out.

Trigger warnings:
Animals deaths, one particularly gruesome
And beware a truly, deeply offensive ongoing racial depiction from that character’s entrance to his death. He was a villain, so I dont think it was intended to be as horrifying as we are bound to take it now, but as a lover of Victorian literature, I’m used to giving some leeway to allow for the times, but this portrayal and the language surrounding him made me feel ill. I don’t know how the narrator got through it.
3 Stars Because it’s Bram but…. Yikes
