Guy Boothby ~5 hr read

A plain English gentleman writes to warn a friend of the most extraordinary and unbelievable intelligence, the terrible business of Pharos, an ancient Egyptian who will not stay dead.

Guy Boothby's 1899 novel is an atmospheric occult horror of a deathless mummy and dark revenge. Gripping, sinister, richly Victorian. Read it for a classic tale of Egyptian curses and an immortal avenger, in the great tradition of the mummy romance.
