"Mummy" as a book category centers on stories built around preserved corpses—most famously Egyptian mummies—and the tombs, curses, rituals, and ancient mysteries that surround them. It spans pulpy adventure and treasure-hunting thrillers, gothic and supernatural horror, historical fiction, and fantasy, typically featuring tomb exploration, sarcophagi and hieroglyphs, reawakened undead or ancient powers, and the collision of modern science with old magic. Common characters include archaeologists, explorers, grave-robbers, scholars, and cultists, and recurring themes examine mortality, hubris, colonialism and the ethics of excavation, as well as the allure and danger of disturbing the past. The tone can be eerie and claustrophobic or swashbuckling and sensational, and the category readily accommodates faithful historical settings, imaginative reworkings, or crossovers with thriller, romance, or speculative fiction.
