When Ambercrombie Smith, a young medical student at Oxford, is summoned to the room of fellow student Bellingham—a fanatical Egyptologist, who appears to have fainted owing to a severe shock— he uses his medical skills to revive him. But this is by no means the last odd incident involving Bellingham, who appears to be increasingly obsessed with research surrounding a strange and uncanny Mummy which he keeps in his room.
A series of unexplained and dangerous attacks on students against whom Bellingham has a grudge make Abercrombie Smith suspect that something unearthly is going on. He sets out to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
