The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903)

by Bram Stoker

Book Notes

Synopsis

From the back cover of the Carrol & Graf paperback: ""When I awoke the fire was out and the camp was desolate except for the Arab chief who lay dead. His eyes were open and staring horribly up at the sky, as though he saw there some dreadful vision. He had evidently been strangled, for on his throat were red marks where fingers had pressed. There seemed so many of these marks that I counted them. There were seven; all parallel except for the thumb, as though made with one hand."

Confronting the mysteries of Ancient Egypt, archeologist Trelawney attempts to raise from the dead the mummy of an ancient Egyptian Queen. His folly unleashes a horrible power from beyond the grave that threatens his life and his daughter's very soul.

This is the eerie story of possession and reincarnation that is the basis of the blood-curdling films Blood from the Mummy's Tomb and The Awakening."
