Publisher's Summary
The warning was inscribed on the entrance of the hidden tomb, forgotten for millennia in the sands of mystic Egypt. Then the archaeologists and grave robbers came in search of the fabled Jewel of Seven Stars, which they found clutched in the hand of the mummy. Few heeded the ancient warning, until all who came in contact with the Jewel began to die in a mysterious and violent way, with the marks of a strangler around their neck.
Now, in a bedroom filled with ancient relics, a distinguished Egyptologist lies senseless, stricken by a force that challenges human understanding. From beyond the grave Queen Tera is reaching out for the mysterious jewel that will bring her 5,000-year-old plan to fulfillment.

Brilliantly atmospheric
Being written quite some time ago, the horror here is far less overt than in many contemporary horror or supernatural stories, but it is so compelling, you can really feel the tension and almost smell the dust and cedar oil. I was interested in reading this as I’ve seen the Hammer movie based on this story and Im so glad I found this. The use of language was so concise and elegant at this time, it’s inspiring. Marvellously creepy and eerie. And I have to say Simon Vance needs a fan club. He’s the best.

This is the 1912 edition
Such a shame the page doesn’t say that this audible file is based on the 1912 edition and not the 1903 edition. The differences are: the 1903 version has 20 chapters, while the 1912 has 19 chapters with chapter 16 removed, the rest renumbered, and chapter 20 (now 19) rewritten.
As to the story… this is one of the rare times I prefer the movie/s over the book because the movie/s (or the one I saw) cuts through the… waffle… since I can’t think of the correct word. The story is well written, the narrator was a pleasure to listen to but the story itself was word heavy and I sometimes found myself zoning out.
If you don’t mind the wordiness, then read/listen to this book.
