The Lair of the White Worm
This book centers around Adam Salton who is contacted by his granduncle in England, for the purpose of establishing a relationship between these last two members of the family. Adam travels to Richard Salton's house in Mercia, and quickly finds himself in the center of some inexplicable occurrences.
The new heir to the Caswall estate, Edgar Caswall appears to be making some sort of a mesmeric assault on a local girl. And, a local lady, Arabella March, seems to be running a game of her own, perhaps angling to become Mrs. Caswall. There is something strange about Lady March, something inexplicable and evil.

Even though the youth of today have been outstripped of their sence of wonder and most of them have an atropheid sence of imagination, I wold hope that a new eye on a wonderfully worked peice of horror could inspire some of them to inquire further into what the clasic authors were trying to do. Hopefully, some young mind will be truely inspired.

Watch the ken russel movie, it's shorter and generally makes more sense.
Stoker shows once again that he has some problems with writting. While his ideas are cool, the actual pen to paper of his ideas are at best....lame.
Still, if you want to read a book in which your not sure why or what happeneing, give it a try
