A later Bram Stoker Gothic novel is now available as a free, downloadable podcast. The Lair of the White Worm (1911) is fun and interesting, if not at the level of Dracula.
There is also a movie version (Ken Russell, 1988). About this Roger Ebert says:
Let this much be said for Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm": It provides you with exactly what you would expect from a movie named "The Lair of the White Worm." It has a lair, it has a worm, the worm is white and there is a sufficient number of screaming victims to be dragged down into the lair by the worm.
Russell provides you with your money's worth.
