This edition, first published in 1925, was heavily abridged and partly rewritten. "The Freudian, bloodcurdling LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM features a monstrous worm secreted for thousands of years in a bottomless well and able to metamorphose into a woman. It has several parallels to DRACULA (with Sir Nathaniel de Salis assuming the Van Helsing role) and contains some of Stoker's most graphic and grisly moments of horror." - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 406.
