The Best from the Stacks —— by Harriet Flaagesund The Mummy or Ramses the Damned by Anne Rice Adult Horror Fiction published by Ballantine Books - Ramses the Great was no ordinary man. Having drunk the ‘‘elixer of life’' he became immortal. Now he is Ramses the Damned, forever doomed to wander the earth alone... desperate * to quell hungers that can never be satisfied. For two thousand years he has slumbered in a forgotten tomb, '. hidden away from the burning rays of the sun that would give him life. . Lawrence Stratford discovers the tomb in 1914, and unknow- ingly awakens the mummy within, Ramses the Damned finds himself in Edwardian London, where he becomes Dr. Ramsey, expert in Egyptology. Ramses is drawn to the beautiful and adventurous Julie Strat- ford, heiress to a vast shipping fortune. But the pleasures Ramses enjoys with Julie cannot soothe him. He is haunted by images of his last reawakening; at the behest of Cleopatra, his beloved Queen of Egypt. His intense longing for her is undiminished over the centuries. _ Ramses returns to Egypt, to the land of his lost queen. In a dusty museum he makes a startling discovery. And commits an act that could very well cost Julie Stratford her life! “The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned” has a hypnotic quality that pulls you inside the pages.
