Synopsis
A chilling tale of ritual magic and Egyptian Mummy horror
The Jewel of Seven Stars is a horror novel by Bram Stoker the creator of Dracula.
An Egyptologist, attempting to raise from the dead the mummy of Tera, an ancient Egyptian queen, finds a fabulous gem and is stricken senseless by an unknown force. Amid eerie and bloody scenes, his daughter is possessed by Tera's soul, and her fate depends upon bringing Tera's mummified body to life.
This story had two endings – the originally released version was found to be too gruesome so shortly before his death in 1912, he was forced by the publisher to add a new ending. This yellowback edition has both endings.
