註釋While the title may seem a bit cutesy, Jane C. Loudon's The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century is no book for the faint of heart. Published in 1827, The Mummy! tells the story of Cheops, a mummified Egyptian corpse who is brought back from the dead during the 22nd century. Controversial because of some gruesome scenes as well as because of its female author, the novel went into obscurity shortly after its publication. As resurrected mummy stories became well-known in popular culture, Loudon's work came back into the mainstream science fiction canon and recognized as an important zombie novel as it features one of the earliest known examples of a "mummy's curse," the magic that raises angry, vengeful mummies from the dead.
