Imprisoned with the Pharaohs: A Short Story, Horror Classic By H. P. Lovecraft! AAA+++

"Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" is a tall-tale that Houdini crafted during one of his tours of Egypt.

Casting Houdini into a role of pulp adventurer (imagine Indiana Jones in Lovecraft Country), Lovecraft describes the magicians supposed Egyptian adventure--in which he is assaulted and bound by angry natives and dropped into the secret bowels of the pyramids--as if he were there to witness it first hand. It is extremely detailed and informative
