More DescriptionJewel of Seven StarsBy Bram Stoker Barrister Malcolm Ross is awakened by pounding on his door. The police have an urgent request from an attractive woman named Margaret Trelawny. Margaret's father, who collects ancient Egyptian antiquities, is in a coma and suffering from a mysterious life-threatening injury. Margaret's father appears to have attempted to raise from the dead the mummy of Tera, an ancient Egyptian queen. His daughter is possessed by Tera's soul.Novel's HistoryBram Stoker's The Jewel of Seven Stars was originally published with a horrific climax that caused controversy, revulsion and great delight from fans of the master horror novelist. Before his death, however, Stoker's publisher warned the author that he would have to change the ending if he wished to reprint it in 1912. As a result, the text was changed before Stoker's death. This 1903 edition includes Chapter XVI "Powers - Old and New", replaced in later versions with a happy ending.
