Legendary master of fantasy fiction Lin Carter is known around the world as the creator of wildly memorable characters in every branch of the genre - and the field of psychic detectives is no exception. This modern day wizard, the mysterious and arrogant Dr. Anton Zarnak is one of the most smoothly crafted of these characters ever to see print, one that easily rivals Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin or any of literature's other supernatural gumshoes. In "Curse of the Black Pharaoh," an expedition discovers the Lost Pyramid of Khotep, and raids the Black Pharaoh's burial chamber, setting upon themselves a curse that relentlessly seeks the death of all involved, in a storyline of classic pulp-era horror. This is a story that will make you look in your closet before you turn out the lights.
