The fabled Jewel of the Seven Stars has been stolen and the ancient Egyptian queen Tera has risen from her tomb to take it back - at any cost! The author of Dracula wrote this enthralling novel of a mummy's curse at the peak of the Victorian fascination with Egyptology. This spellbinding blend of Eastern lore and classic horror fiction stands as the inspiration for dozens of contemporary mummy movies. This title is a reprint of the Doubleday, New York, 1903 edition.
