Editorial Reviews

“Unfolds with wondrous and terrifying logic…The Mummy reaches its dazzling conclusion in the same manner as Rice’s vampire books: with the promise of more to come. Long live the Mummy!” Boston Herald
“Rice’s disturbing novels provoke though as well as entertain.” Chicago Tribune
“Rice succeeds masterfully in blending horror and romance…Ramses is a fascinating character, heroic yet tragically flawed by his human desires.” Atlanta Journal
“A typical Rice tale combining sensuous romance with a historical angle, adding a dash of the macabre…It should keep you up nights until you’ve finished, then you will stay awake hoping to a sequel.” Dallas Times Herald
“Captivating.” Vogue
“A good story, part romance novel, part horror story, part mini-course in Egyptology…A handsome, mesmerizing monster.” St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Rice is undeniably gifted and here characters are always compelling.” Cincinnati Enquirer
“She’s done it again…With Rice’s lush writing, a world where the unusual seems normal springs to life…If you liked her vampire trilogy, you’ll be enthralled with her visit to Egypt’s legends.” Palm Beach Post
