Produktbeschreibung
From the imaginative mind of Sax Rohmer, the master architect of exotic crime fiction and the creator of Dr. Fu Manchu, comes a chilling and atmospheric tale set in the mystical heart of Egypt. The Whispering Mummy set in the sweltering, secretive streets of Cairo, where a European artist becomes obsessed with a beautiful local dancer. He is struck by her uncanny resemblance to the ancient mummy he has been using as a subject for his painting. As he attempts to use the living woman as his new model, strange and sinister events unfold, seemingly orchestrated by a shadowy stalker who watches the dancer with chilling intensity. The mystery draws the narrator and the wise Abu Tabah, the occult guardian of Egypt's secrets, into a compelling narrative that challenges the beliefs of all involved. This story is an essential read for fans of classic pulp fiction, exotic mystery, and the thrilling supernatural dread that defines Sax Rohmer's unique literary vision.
Autorenporträt
Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 - 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Stoker was bedridden with an unknown illness until he started school at the age of seven, when he made a complete recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years."
