I bought it primarily as it includes 'The Lady of the Shroud' which I have heard a bit about, also it seems the longer of the two stories by quite a bit in this publication. I used to have 'Lair' a while ago but seem to have misplaced it somewhere.. it does have a lot of sexual references also 'Publishers Note - While some of the views displayed in this book are regarded as unacceptable today, it is important that the reader should bear in mind that the stories reflect the attitudes of their times. However, even after taking this into consideration, we have amended certain words that we feel would give particular offence' also I read some musings which are interesting, that Stoker could possibly have been writing under the influence of drugs for Bright's Disease at the time also the 'attacks' on womanhood apparently could have been due to Stoker's wife not wanting relations after the birth of their son. I will let you know when I have finished it, I liked the film too, the dream like sequences, I must see it again it has been a long time. On another point you may find interesting, I recently bought 'Clockwork Orange' on cassette, haven't listened yet but should be fun
