Book Description:
"Hither the Gods come not at any summons. The Nameless One has insulted them and is forever alone. Go not nigh, lest their vengeance wither you away!"
The warning was inscribed on the entrance of the hidden tomb, forgotten for millennia in the sands of mystic Egypt. Then the archaeologists and grave robbers came in search of the fabled Jewel of Seven Stars, which they found clutched in the hand of the mummy. Few heeded the ancient warning, until all who came in contact with the Jewel began to die in a mysterious and violent way--with the marks of a strangler around their neck.

Cami Z. (This book starts out strong but then kind of wanes until the last 50 pages. It's a little bit of a "thick" read, but Stoker manages to keep one's interest. The ending sort of surprised me because it takes on an almost Ozzie and Harriet feel while maintaining a classic Stoker spookiness. Written in true Stoker style, the book speaks of fantasy horrors that one could conceivably believe to be real. Not one of Stoker's best, though, but certainly not his worst. All in all, I would still say a must-read for true Stoker fans.
