Description

"Brood of the Witch-Queen" by Sax Rohmer is a supernatural horror novel published in 1918. When Sir Michael Ferrara dies under mysterious circumstances, Robert Cairn suspects his adopted son Antony Ferrara of wielding dark Egyptian magic. A terrifying investigation unfolds involving human prey, ancient pyramids, and the legendary Book of Thoth. H.P. Lovecraft compared the novel to Bram Stoker's "Dracula," while critics praised Rohmer's occult lore and claustrophobic pyramid scenes as perhaps his finest work.
