The Passion of the Mummy

Description: Hard Cover, New, Numbered & Autographed by the Author. Dust Jacket & End Page Art by George Chastain. Among the myths of ancient Egypt are tales of living mummies. Most famous is Kharis, prince of the royal house of Pharaoh Amenophis, and lover of Pharaoh’s daughter. The princess died young, and Kharis committed sacrilege in trying to revive her. For his sin, he was condemned to living death. Four 1940s movies popularized Kharis’ legend (The Mummy’s Hand, The Mummy’s Tomb, The Mummy’s Ghost, and The Mummy’s Curse), but cover but a small part on his more than 3,000 year existence. Kharis’ incredible life and afterlife might have been forever unknown but for the unnamed narrator of this book. As a boy on a class trip, he stood before the dormant mummy of Kharis. Somehow, the boy communed with the still sentient Kharis. Thoughts and memories transferred between the two. Communion between adolescent boy and ancient mummy grew as the boy aged. Their intimacy attracted notice from the Cult of Karnak-Arkham which had long tended Kharis through the centuries, and revived him with tana leaves to carry out their commands. Kharis’ possible resurrection rekindled hope in the aging Cult members that they might learn his final secret: the magic chant from the lost Scroll of Thoth that bestows eternal life and youth. The Cult lurked behind the narrator’s life from childhood to manhood, and led him through an unknown world that exists side-by-side with that known to us. That world is populated by immortals who walk among us. Among them are demon women. While men of the Cult struggle with arcane chants and symbols, immortality came to some women via the Gods. The narrator meets many: some under modern guises, some living as if the age of the Pharaohs were still in flower. His one constant companion through his odyssey is the spirit of Kharis, always at his side, whether as protector or tormentor.
