콘텐츠 소개

The Lair of the White Worm by Bram Stoker is a novel written in the late 19th century, beginning with the story of Adam Salton, a young Australian who travels to England at the request of his grand-uncle, Richard Salton. Adam, who seeks to reconnect with his family, discovers that his grand-uncle intends to make him his heir, forging a deep bond between the two. As they explore the family estate and local history, Adam becomes aware of the supernatural and historical legacies intertwined with the land. The opening of the novel shows Adam receiving a warm welcome at the Empire Club in Sydney, followed by his grand-uncle’s hospitality in England. Adam’s character is portrayed as one who longs for family connection and adventure, driven by a desire to uncover new aspects of life in his ancestral homeland. The narrative unfolds as Adam learns about the Roman and Mercian history of Britain, encountering the mysterious background of the Caswall family, the estate known as Castra Regis, and the enigmatic Lady Arabella March. The early chapters intertwine themes of kinship and supernatural curiosity, foreshadowing the dark elements rooted in the myth of the monstrous identity suggested by the novel’s title.
