Lair of the White Worm by 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.

I'm in for the Worm!

I've been going through it. It's ...interesting.

I'm giving it a go closer to the end of the month.

"Interesting" sounds ..... interesting!

I’m hoping to join you for this, but have a pile to get through so will definitely be later in the month.
It does sound interesting, indeed!

Yeah there's always a pile but it's not very long.

A slow start, to chapter VI, but hope springs eternal .....

Things will pick up soon.

I've got to chapter X, still slow, but there has been some action.

This is a good negative review if you've finished the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsnKO...

I actually like that a lot of things don't have clear answers.

After reading the reviews of this book, I may just give it a miss since I'm already way behind in my monthly reads-I haven't started any of them yet.

Oh well, enjoy the other reads.

I will, thanks! I really liked Dracula.

I've given up! It was just too slow.

There was a film of it, directed by the infamous Ken Russell. However, this failed to spark a series of remakes, unlike the first Dracula film

Anybody thinking of reading Lurker? It's a more understandable story.

I've never seen he movie but I've heard it's good.

I think the only version I've seen of this movie was this one:

Ah, Mister Derleth! Thanks Rosemarie.
