Got my copy of The Lost Novels of Bram Stoker in the mail the other day. Been wanting to read these books (The Jewel of the Seven Stars, The Lady of the Shroud, and The Lair of the White Worm) for some time now--mainly that White Worm deal, as I've been told it's one weird, surreal tale. But, after a glance at the table of contents, I see that what I have is the furshlugginer edited edition of Lair of the White Worm, cut by about 100 pages--from 40 chapters down to 28.
Words cannot express the rage I feel. Well, okay, it ain't that big a deal...but, dang it, I don't do abridged editions of anything. The only reason I bought the damn book was because the reviews on Amazon led me to believe it contained the full text of Lair. All the other editions were either cut (like mine, grrr) or edited to conform to our modern PC mentality (another blasphemy in my book).
Anybody know where I can find an uncut, unabridged, bloody unexpurgated copy of The Lair of the White Worm by Stoker?
