Verbose tale that lingered on painfully. Listened to the story via Librivox.

4.5/5, closer to a 5 (I'm still using the old 1-5 star system).

I had a great time reading this relatively unknown novel. Anybody who's a fan of cursed movies/movie set-based horror will be well-served by reading this. My only strikes against it are that a couple characters are pretty annoyingly one-dimensional at times (I'm looking at you, Mollie and Davis).

I like that as he put the paranormal he also gavea logical explenation, leaving the reader to choose.
Also leaving the end open, it's realistic somehow.

Pulpy story of a film crew making a mummy film in ww1 era Egypt, and real life starts becoming increasingly muddled up with the film story of vengeful mummies, reincarnation, and obsession.
