Publisher Description
Ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft, Imprisoned with the Pharaohs is Harry Houdini’s greatest escape ever.
While visiting Cairo as a tourist, Houdini and his wife are shown around the pyramids by a mysterious and slightly sinister guide who has a strange hollow voice and looks like an old pharaoh.
What starts as a strange traveler’s adventure to witness a duel at midnight on the summit of one of the pyramids turns into a nightmare as Houdini is seized, tied up, and lowered on a rope far into the bowels of the earth to an unknown tomb where the oldest and most sinister of the Egyptian Pharaohs dwell.
While Houdini is more than capable of escaping his bonds, can he escape the putrid undead Pharaohs and their servants? Will he ever find his way out of the undiscovered tomb through the labyrinth of passages? Can he discover the true origin of the terrible Sphinx?

About the Authors
Harry Houdini (1874–1926) was a Hungarian-born American escapologist, magician, stuntman, actor, and film producer, and one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century. Towards the end of his career he focused his energies on debunking spiritualists and mediums, and on the ethics of magic and illusion.
H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. Virtually unknown and only published in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, he is now regarded as one of the most significant twentieth-century authors in his genre. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived most of his life. His relatively small corpus of work consists of three short novels and about sixty short stories.
