About this audiobook

Bram Stoker is, of course, best known for his influential 1897 novel "Dracula", which really sparked the entire modern vampire craze. First published in 1903, Stoker's horror novel "The Jewel of Seven Stars" is relatively unknown, which is surprising — it is one of the earlier stories about the reanimation of an ancient Egyptian mummy and it is quite a thrilling tale. It also uses state-of-the-art science of the time to bolster the story — with rather amusing results. The story is a first-person narrative of a young man pulled into an archaeologist's plot to revive Queen Tera, an ancient Egyptian mummy. It explores common fin de siècle themes such as imperialism, the rise of the New Woman and feminism, and societal progress.
