Aprašymas

'A story with a new kind of thrill... We warn all who have nerves and nightmares against reading this book.' The Independent (New York), 1904.

When Deane, Merritt, and Holloway uncover the entrance to a previously undisturbed tomb while digging in Egypt, they ignore the warning inscribed above its entrance to 'wake not the soul that sleeps within'. They unblock the doorway marked 'forbidden' and uncover the mummy of an ancient Egyptian princess who was buried alive for her sins. And in opening the tomb, they release the devil that dwells within.

First published in 1904, this new edition of In the Dwellings of the Wilderness includes a 20-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia,"Charlotte Bryson Taylor: 'Clever Writer of Fiction' and 'Angel' of Washington Fire Department", which contains a large amount of new information about the author of this atmospheric tale of the mummy's curse.
