Dead Egyptians - Dead Egyptians, #1 - E-book - ePub

"Dead Egyptians takes the reader on a vast, rollicking ride through history, reincarnation, romance and more... " -Susan Martell Huebner, author She Thought the Door Was Locked In Egypt, all things are possible. So discovers Albion Stanley, a recent Cambridge graduate and brilliant linguist, newly arrived in Cairo in 1902. Albion sees the unseen, including ghosts. It is a less than comfortable reality, which he tends to with copious amounts of whiskey and numerous other vices. Also in Cairo is Aleister Crowley, the famed occultist.
Aleister is a dangerous man, but not an unsympathetic one and never a dull one. Together, they discover the world of dead Egyptians, some of whom are older than the pyramids. Dead Egyptians have a lot to say. They are deeply unsatisfied with the state of modern Egypt, yet, for all their wisdom and power, they have limitations. As a Seer, Albion proves indispensable to both Crowley and the dead Egyptians. Dead Egyptians transports the reader into a glittering turn of the century Cairo, while also addressing the atrocities of colonialism.
It is hedonistic, while also exploring the complex world of Ancient Egyptian religious thought. It is historically accurate down to the fabrics, while remaining fantastical at its core.
