The Book of the Dead addresses the most fascinating of all the undead: the mummy. With 19 brand new stories ranging from the humorous to the horrific, this is the definitive collection of this classic creature.
The mummy can be a figure of imperial dignity or one of shambling terror, at home in pulp adventure, contemporary drama, or apocalyptic horror - all explored in depth by Gail Carriger, Paul Cornell, Jesse Bullington, Maria Dahvana Headley, Maurice Broaddus, Lou Morgan, Molly Tanzer, Will Hill and many, many more.
The anthology is published in collaboration with the Egypt Exploration Society, the UK's oldest independent funder of archaeological fieldwork and research in Egypt, dedicated to the promotion and understanding of ancient Egyptian history and culture.
