Published in 1934 to capitalise on the 1933 Boris Karloff film of Frank King's 1926 novel. In an eerie, fog-shrouded London, an ancient curse has been unleashed and a reign of terror is about to begin! On his deathbed, famed Egyptologist Professor Morlant (Karloff) instructs his assistant to bury him with an ancient jewel he believes will grant him eternal life. But soon after he's entombed, the sacred treasure is ripped from his hand by a mysterious grave robber. Now, filled with fury, Morlant rises from his crypt as a grotesquely decaying mummy determined to avenge the theft and destroy everything in his path...
