In addition to twenty evocative line drawings by Alexander King, this edition features a new Foreword by cartoonist and graphic novelist Joe Ollmann and a new Introduction by George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead.

A sinister plot is slowly revealed, in which a mummy's curse threatens to destroy the Western world.Victorian readers had a passion for tales of mystery and intrigue in exotic settings, especially those involving supernatural powers. This ripping yarn was created by one of the era's most popular writers of sensationalistic fiction.
