Book description
Amara, Princess of Egypt, lies in her coffin in the Charles Wood
museum. She's been dead for 4000 years. Or has she? Barney, the
nightwatchman, is the first to discover the mummy's coffin has been
broken open. It seems grave-robbers are at work, so it's a pity that
Barney can't tell the authorities - the dead can't testify to anything.
Now Amara is free again and nothing can kill her... Richard Laymon was
born in Chicago in 1947 and grew up in California. Four of his books
have been shortlisted for the Bram Stoker Award, which he won in 2001
with THE TRAVELLING VAMPIRE SHOW. Among his many acclaimed works of
horror and suspense are THE STAKE, SAVAGE, AFTER MIDNIGHT and the four
novels in the Beast House Chronicles: THE CELLAR, THE BEAST HOUSE, THE
MIDNIGHT TOUR and FRIDAY NIGHT IN BEAST HOUSE. He died in February 2001.
