Before the zombie, the werewolf, or the vampire, there was the Mummy. Mummies—linen-wrapped, dried up corpses of pharaohs, queens, priests, musicians, dancers, and everyday people like you and me—lie in maze-like pyramids and tombs. Guarded by jackal-headed Anubis, god of the dead, mummies wait to live for eternity. But if their wait is disturbed, if their tomb treasure is looted, then the Curse of the Mummy falls on the violator. More ruthless than the walking zombie, more brutal than the werewolf’s attack, more terrifying than the vampire’s kiss, the Curse of the Mummy falls without warning and without ending. The Curse of the Mummy is eternal love and eternal hate.

“The Ring of Thoth” and “Lot 249” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle take us into the heart of the mysteries of the Mummy. Doyle wrote these two stories at the same time he was building the career of his famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. These two stories have reached into our own day, directly inspiring the classic horror film The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff, and all the Mummy films that followed. And the mummies in these two stories live on…
