Into the Mummy's Tomb

The Mummy. The first thing that comes to mind is the curse... reanimation..and revenge. But what further mysteries are there to be unwrapped in the tombs of the Ancient Egyptians?This exciting new anthology from the editor of Vampires, Wine and Roses features a diverse selection of remarkable talents, from major bestselling authors like Anne Rice (famous for her vampire and mummy novels) and Elizabeth Peters (mystery's master of Egyptology), to all-time favorites such as Bram Stoker (who wrote one of the first mummy novels) and Agatha Christie (queen of the sealed "tomb" mystery). Into the Mummy's Tomb even includes a few surprises — a short story by Tennessee Williams (his first professional sale), an actual translation of a tale written in 300 B.C. by an Egyptian priest, and nonfiction pieces by famous Egyptologist Arthur Weigall and the discoverer of King Tut's tomb, Howard Carter. You never know what you might find when you venture Into the Mummy's Tomb — for century-spanning tales of horror, fantasy, romance, and history.
