3.0 out of 5 stars
Well...it was free,

This review is from: Lair of the White Worm (Kindle Edition)
Although a bit strange I found this book to be entertaining. It follows Adam as he battles the mysterious Lady Arabella, falls in love with Mimi, And encounters an assortment of odd characters. Not as good as Dracula, but if you can handle the far-fetched plot I would recommend it. Also, It is free.

Unintentionally hilarious.,

This review is from: Lair of the White Worm (Kindle Edition)
Had heard this book is terrible and it is. There are the germs of at least three excellent horror books in there...unfortunately Bram couldn't decide which to focus on and jumped wildly from one idea to the other. Is it about the mysterious curse haunting the last scion of a noble family, a la Hound of the Baskervilles? Or perhaps the evil power of mesmerism? A titanic battle of wills between a strong minded woman and an evil interloper for the soul of her sister? Or is it a straight out find-and-kill-the-monster romp? You decide!The unfocused storyline, wild leaps of (il)logic, gaping plot holes and purple prose made this the funniest book I've read for some time. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you'll probably find this hilarious. The ending is pure gold - I can't decide whether Michael Bay or Monty Python would do a better movie adaptation of it. Definitely worth what I paid for it.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Abridged version,
By Liz "bigstarfan" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lair of the White Worm (Kindle Edition)
I read the free Kindle edition of this book. I was shocked at how terrible it was -- the story seemed disjointed and ludicrous (even for a story about a giant white worm that can assume human form). Then I discovered that this version is an abridged and rewritten 1925 edition that eliminated over 100 pages from the book. I will now seek out the unabridged version to see if it is any better.The Ken Russell movie version is terrible and wonderful at the same time. I think it may be the most bizarre movie I have ever seen.
