Released in 1932, The Mummy moved Universal horror away from the Gothic Europe of Dracula and Frankenstein and into a land of deserts, pyramids and long-lost tombs. This book examines the roots of The Mummy and shows how the film shares many of its motifs with the work of writers such as Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle and H. Rider Haggard.
