The Woman of the Pyramid and Other Tales: The Perley Poore Sheehan Omnibus, Volume 1

by Perley Poore Sheehan

A pioneer of the fantastic fiction genre that spawned a thousand imitators, Perley Poore Sheehan was one of the most popular authors of the pulps of the 1910s-30s. This oversized edition collects four of Sheehan's best stories from the pages of the All-Story and Argosy—stories which have never before been reprinted—and it's headlined by his fantasy classic "The Woman from the Pyramid": Carlton, an Egyptologist encounters the woman who's been haunting him in his dreams, and in his quest to learn who she is, he finds himself thrown five thousand years in the past, reincarnated as an Egyptian nobleman. Collecting the "The Woman of the Pyramid," as well as "The Lone Seminole," The One Gift," and "Egrets."

[Rhoddi · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unfortunately, this was a bust for me. The stories were meandering, the writing felt choked, and I really just couldn't get into any of the stories. This is one pulp author I won't be looking into anymore.
