Absolute dross
1 star
It was a slog to get through this, and in the end it was a complete waste of time with no payout. An interesting idea with some potential, butchered by extremely poor writing and presumably no editing. The syphilis must have affected Stoker's brain by this point, because it is hard to fathom how this could be the product of a famed novelist.
To quote HP Lovecraft: "The Lair of the White Worm, dealing with a gigantic primitive entity that lurks in a vault beneath an ancient castle, utterly ruins a magnificent idea by a development almost infantile."
One thing Lovecraft fails to mention is the over the top - almost to the point of satire - racism in the novel, but then again he might have approved.
