''in the late summer of 188-, a train leaves Cairo heading across the desert...carrying an upper class assortment of Egyptians, Europeans and English men and women. Attacked by Arab bandits whose misfiring cannon-fire destroys not only the train’s fuel tender but themselves as well, the train stops dead near a small Egyptian ruin from another age. Foraging for fuel the passengers stumble upon the remains of an ancient Egyptian tombyard - and mummies become their tinder! Thus begins a ghost-story by Ray Bradbury, the last book produced while he was alive. Brought to life by artist Gary Gianni with more than twenty pen and ink drawings''.
