The Hunting Sorrow

Summary: You can't keep a good mummy 'under wraps'
Review: A pretty imposing stack of prose, but inside is a vast adventure of horror, suspense and vengeance ranging from Egypt to America. Slightly like the new film "The Mummy" if it was set in modern times. Chris Treagus has a tendency! To! Overuse! Exclamation! Points! In this one, but he's got a great talent for historical horror fiction, able to drag the reader through time and space so that one feels like they're actually there. A writer to watch!

Summary: A mummy with teeth
Review: I just finished reading this book, The Hunting Sorrow, and had to make comment. It was a very fast pace, action packed thriller. It only took three days to get through it. i have not heard of thhe author before, but was impressed by his plotting and pacing. The horror comes not just from the actions of the mummy (whichh is the main conflict) but the earthquakes it causes in Egypt and elsewhere. And much of this I understand came from real life! (the earthquake, that is!) When people are caught under rubble, I was there with them! Some of the characters could have been flushed out a bit more for my taste, and it seems like sometimes they were sacrificed for the pacing. Anyway, this was an exciting read. So much happens in the space of a few days. It makes me think of Robin Cook.

Summary: A Modern Day Mummy Tale
Review: It has been a long time since I have read a good mummy story, and this one certainly fits the bill. In a horror genre filled with vampires, and werewolves, this book is unique. The author does a great job of retelling the classic tale of the mummy, updated for today. I highly recommend it to all interested in horror, a good old fashioned monster story, or just a good read.

Summary: A perfectly wrought tale of terror!
Review: Like the American GI's who descend timorously into an ancient temple at the beginning of Christopher Treagus' "Hunting Sorrow," I ventured, skeptically, into a genre I hadn't touched since reading a collection of Clive Barker's short stories almost five years ago. I was pleasently rewarded with a first-rate novel by a first time author that I will recommend to all my friends.

Summary: "GROTESQUE, HORRIFYING, WHAT A WONDERFUL READ!
Review: The Hunting Sorrow by gifted 'HORROR' writers Christopher Mark Treagus and Alister Jonah, is a unique horror story using a grotesque mummy and horrifying curse-- An engaging and suspenseful tale rising from the ashes. A story that will hold the reader under a spell from the first page to the last.

If you are a reader that is into mummy and curse tales then this is definately the book to read!

The year is 1992. The place Cairo. Cairo is rocked by the worst earthquake in Egypt's new age history awakening something. Something Unimaginable. In tradition of the classic mummy legend a curse has been unleashed upon the world for the violation of yet another tomb but 'The Hunting Sorrow' is no ordinary walking dead!
