Reviews

[Paul Hasbrouck · Rating 3 out of 5]

Martin H. Greenberg's collections are always fun, inside the readers will discover classics, forgotten and new stories that fit the theme of the volume.
In this collection, about Mummies and their curses, here are some of my favorites:
Monkeys by E.F.Benson
The Man in Crescent Terrace-Seabury Quinn
Beetles-Tareton Fiske(Robert Bloch)
Plus stories by Poe, Doyle, and others.
and at the very end, after death, mayhem is a delightful story-Uncle Jack Eats a Mummy by Alan Robbins.
Have fun with these dusty menaces.

Mummy Stories by Martin H. Greenberg (1990)

[Michael McFarland · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hit and miss. I found myself enjoying the older stories more (does anyone write mummy stories anymore??). "Lot No. 249", "Monkeys", and "Beetles" being my favorites from this anthology.
