Book Review:
''The Mummy: Ramses the Damned'' by Anne Rice is a quickly paced, elegantly erotic novel full of enchanting terror. Reawakened in opulent Edwardian London, Ramses becomes Dr. Ramsey, an expert in Egyptology and a member of a group of jaded aristocrats with strange appetites to appease. But searing memories of his last reawakening, at the behest of Cleopatra, burn in his immortal soul.

For he has drunk the elixir of life and is now Ramses the Damned, doomed forever to wander the earth, desperate to quell hungers that can never be satisfied. His most intense longing of all—a great love undiminished by the centuries—will force him to commit an act of unspeakable horror.

Rice's writing is darkly magical and seductive. This is a classic tale of love, immortality, and terror. If you enjoy horror, gothic fiction, or Anne Rice's novels, The Mummy: Ramses the Damned is a must-read. Highly recommended!
