The mummy lives . . . As a figure of the supernatural the mummy has
attained iconic status in the popular imagination. For the first time, The
Mammoth Book of the Mummy presents a collection of tales written for the
twenty-first century-including three brand-new stories-that explore, subvert,
and reinvent the mummy mythos. Some delve into the past, others explore
alternative histories, and some bring mummies into our own world. Within these
covers lie stories of revenge, romance, monsters, and mayhem, ranging freely
across time periods, genres, and styles sure to please both mummy-lovers and
those less wrapped up in mummy lore!
