Content
Readers should expect a healthy dose of dry yet ridiculous humor amid the ghoulish details in the stories selected. For example, the short story that lends itself as the title of this collection is about a mummy coming back to life and chatting about the "good ole days" with the people who reanimated him.
Included at the end of this collection is an excerpt from Belinda Kroll's cozy historical fantasy, Haunting Miss Trentwood.
Books by Belinda Kroll feature sweet romance, comedy-of-manners dialogue and action, gaslamp genre settings, and mundane, magical, or paranormal elements. Short stories may or may not include romantic elements.
Thanks for reading my escapist Victorian stories.
