Summary

The final horror masterpiece from the author of Dracula.   At the bottom of a hidden well, a green light gleams. In the sky, a kite drives a man to madness. An unsuspecting traveler seeks to connect with long lost family.    All the while, the White Worm lurks… waiting, watching, hunting.   From Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and published only a year before his death, The Lair of the White Worm was heavily abridged and republished in 1925, leaving readers and critics alike dissatisfied and disappointed. Return now to the original, restored version of the text and explore the world of mesmerism and mystery as Bram Stoker intended.    Includes a new foreword by award-winning author Fran Wilde.
Available since: 06/07/2022.
Print length: 259 pages.

    When Scotty’s older brother brings home a ventriloquist dummy named Tombob and sets it on their dresser, the seven-year-old tries his best not to be afraid. After all, big boys aren’t scared of dolls. But no matter how hard he tries, Scotty can’t shake the unease creeping up his spine. 
There’s something about that wooden face—the glossy, staring eyes and the frozen, painted grin—that feels wrong. Unnatural. Watching. 
He tells himself it’s just his imagination. If he pulls the blanket over his head and squeezes his eyes shut, maybe the feeling will pass. Maybe he’ll drift off to sleep. 
Then, across the room, a thin, tinny voice slices through the darkness. Slow. Sweet. Unmistakably real.

    The time is near.  
The last thing Special Forces operator John Sunday expected to find, taped to the body of a dead terrorist, was a woman's portrait. 
The last thing Kat Devier expected to find beneath the paint was a lost gospel, claiming the body of Jesus Christ to be in a cave in Jordan.  
The clues lead to a cold, clay jar, sealed in mud, and kept hidden in darkness for thousands of years. But what’s inside?  
And why does a man who cannot die walk the earth in search of it?  
The Last Disciple is a terrifying hunt across the sands of time, for the hidden plans of gods and devils. Once revealed, John Sunday’s demons, and yours, will become real. And the great day of wrath shall come. For us all.  
Sometimes darkness is better than light.
