About this title

Review:

InThe Mummy Anne Rice weaves the same magic for the world and history of mummies that she previously did for the worlds and mythologies of vampires and witches. Ramses the Great lives, but having drunk the elixir of life, he is now Ramses the Damned, doomed forever to wander the earth, desperate to quell certain mummy hungers that can never be satisfied!

From the Publisher:

I love the old Boris Karloff and Carl Laemmle films and all the serial thrillers from the '30'ies and '40'ies. THE MUMMY captures the slinkiness, the daring exoticism and the sense of high adventure of those great old movies. All of this, of course, coupled with Anne Rice's inimitable style. Wonderful fun.
