![]() This 1903 version contains a downbeat ending that apparently Stoker had to change when he wanted to reissue it in 1912 the revised version contains a more upbeat very ending, though apart from this scene and a very brief epilogue, there were no other changes except an omitted self-contained philosophical chapter. This was the precursor of the mummy horror films of the twentieth century. This horror novel by the author of Dracula lacks the literary quality of the more famous work, but Stoker nevertheless creates cumulatively an atmosphere of fear and tension in this story based around the apparent resurrection of the mummy of a 5,000 year old forgotten Egyptian queen. ![]()
