A novelisation of Universal's 1930's classic.
"An unmarked burial place deep in the Nubian desert contained an
ancient mummy case of plain wood. The unearthing of this simple box
was to invoke the most horrifying reprecussions. For within the case
lay a body that had been interred while still struggling to free itself
from the smothering bonds - a body condemned to death in both this
life and the next...
And on the box, a warning -'eternal punishment for
whoever opens this casket'. For Norton, the temptation was too much.
He waited until he was alone and then...he was found insane, the box was
empty and the mummy gone.
Eleven years later, the world was to pay the price for Norton's foolish curiosity..."
