'In Laymon's books blood doesn't so much drip as explode, splatter and coagulate' Independent
'If you've missed Laymon, you've missed a treat' Stephen King
Amara, Princess of Egypt, lies in her coffin in the Charles Wood museum. She's been dead for 4000 years. Or has she Barney, the nightwatchman, is the first to discover the mummy's coffin has been broken open. It seems grave-robbers are at work, so it's a pity that Barney can't tell the authorities - the dead can't testify to anything. Now Amara is free again and nothing can kill her...
Praise for Amara: A chilling and riveting horror novel
