Picking up right where the first book left off, Die Mumie von Rotterdam. Zweiter Theil throws any sense of safety out the window. The mummy is active, and its influence is spreading like a plague through the city. Our main characters, hoping they had contained the threat, are forced back into a desperate chase. They’re not just investigating history now; they’re trying to stop a very present and physical evil. The story moves from shadowy crypts to the bustling, gas-lit avenues of Rotterdam, creating a fantastic contrast between the modern world and the ancient terror disrupting it.
Why You Should Read It
Döring’s strength here is momentum. This isn't a slow-burn mystery; it’s a full-on gothic thriller. You can feel the 19th-century fascination with Egypt and the occult, but it’s filtered through a genuinely suspenseful plot. The characters are in constant peril, which makes it a real page-turner. It’s also fascinating as a historical artifact itself—a glimpse into what scared and entertained readers nearly 200 years ago. The themes of obsession and the past violently invading the present feel surprisingly fresh.
Final Verdict
This is a perfect pick for anyone who enjoys classic gothic horror but wishes it had a faster pace. Fans of penny dreadfuls, old Universal monster movies, or even modern adventure-horror will find a lot to love here. It’s a direct, pulpy sequel that doubles down on the action and atmosphere of the first book. Just be ready for a cliffhanger—these 19th-century authors knew how to keep you coming back for more.
