The Mummy of Thompson-Pratt

Summary

Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne (1866-1944) was a British writer of popular adventure fiction and fantastic literature.

"The Mummy of Thompson-Pratt" is a strange supernatural tale of Gargrave, a young egyptologist at Cambridge University who manages to reanimate the 3,000-year-old mummy of Menen-Ra via the man he has identified as a direct descendent of the ancient egyptian.

The descendent is the young gad-about-town Thompson-Pratt. It would appear that Thompson-Pratt has inherited more than merely the peculiar marks on his torso from his old ancestor.
