A restless English tourist discovers a hidden entrance to an unopened Egyptian pyramid — and stumbles into a royal banquet where mummies wake every thousand years to feast in the flesh. He has just 24 hours among the living dead before they return to their cases for another millennium.

IN THIS EPISODE: As we head into a new year, I thought it would be appropriate to make something old, new again – it’s a story I shared many years ago in the podcast and I really enjoyed narrating it – plus, it’s very appropriate for the day. The story was written in 1880 by Grant Allen; it’s titled “My New Year’s Eve Among The Mummies”.
