The Mummy

The Mummy by Riccardo Stephens is a classic tale of horror and mystery. Dr. Armiston is asked to investigate mysterious deaths of two young gentlemen. Both victims were in possession of a strange and ominous Egyptian mummy. More deaths soon follow, and the plot thickens. Is the mummy cursed? Are old Egyptian gods wreaking havoc in Edwardian London or is there a modern killer on the loose? The Mummy is a captivating with more than a whiff of Sherlock Holmes combined with a sprinkling of Lovecraftian horror.

The Mummy, that harbinger of evil, stood in its accustomed place. I sat down before it, staring at the case and wondering, as I had already wondered more than once, how far the malignant face before me represented what stood within. It was not all fancy.
