Long before the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 or Boris Karloff's film portrayal of Imhotep ten years later, legends of the Mummy enthralled readers of the Western world. The Gothic horror tales collected in this anthology reflect the Victorian fascination with Egypt's oldest inhabitants.
In Curse of the Mummy, four master storytellers of the nineteenth century share gripping tales of cursed plunder and injudicious flirtations with eldritch magic.
