Synopsis "The Jewel Of Seven Stars"

Irish author Bram Stoker's horror book, The Jewel of Seven Stars, was initially made available by Heinemann in 1903. The story is a first-person narrative of a young guy who becomes involved in an archaeologist's scheme to bring Queen Tera, an Egyptian mummy, back to life. At the request of his daughter Margaret, renowned Egyptologist Abel Trelawny summons Malcolm Ross to his home. Malcolm observes that others in the room are affected by the "mummy scent," which is there due to the abundance of Egyptian artifacts in Margaret's room. The doctor believes Silvio is to blame for the scratch wounds on Abel's elbow since a huge mommy cat bothers Margaret's cat. Corbeck describes his journey to Egypt with Trelawny in search of the tomb containing the sarcophagus. He thinks that by opening the coffer, some magic will be released, reviving the mummy and reawakening Tera's spirit. According to Trelawny, ancient Egyptians possessed contemporary scientific knowledge, such as the discovery of radium and the invention of electricity. Malcolm worries about the impact on religion if the power of the ancient Egyptian gods is proven. As the lamps are lit, the coffer begins to glow, emitting a green vapor that passes into the sarcophagus. Suddenly, a storm shatters a window, blowing vapor around the room.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; 8 de noviembre de 1847-Londres; 20 de abril de 1912) fue un novelista y escritor irlandés, conocido por su novela Drácula.

Sus primeros relatos de terror, como "La Copa de Cristal" (1872), fueron publicados por la London Society, y The Chain of Destiny en la revista Shamrock. En 1876, mientras trabajaba como funcionario, escribió un libro de texto nombrado The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), este libro se utilizó como referencia durante mucho tiempo.

Siendo crítico del teatro para el Dublin Evening Mail, cuyo copropietario era el célebre escritor de novela gótica Sheridan Le Fanu, uno de los más importantes de su época por relatos como el de Carmilla, sobre una vampiresa, influyeron mucho a Stoker a la hora de escribir Drácula. La crítica de Stoker hacia la obra fue una gran alabanza a la actuación en Hamlet del actor Henry Irving, quien le contrató para ser su secretario particular y gerente del Lyceum Theatre de Londres.

Mientras trabajaba para Irving, fue crítico literario para el Daily Telegraph y escribió varias novelas como The Snake's Pass (1890) y Dracula (1897) y, tras la muerte de Irving en 1905, La dama del sudario (1909) y La guarida del gusano blanco (1911).

Su esposa fue la administradora de su legado literario, y dio a conocer obras como la que sería la introducción de Drácula, el relato corto El invitado de Drácula.
