Description Here is a taste of what lies inside this impressive collection of Mummy stories (almost half have never been published before outside of their original publication): Trooping up out of the foul subterranean darkness of the great square drainage hole at the bottom of the pit, came countless thousands of great white spiders In an undulating tide of furry evilness they crept up from the lower chamber that had been their prison .
The professor, too saw the advancing horde of horror, and the two men's eyes met in unutterable terror.
Carr, Spider-Bite For the sight of some Egyptian monster, some god of the tombs, or even of some demon of fire, I think I was already half prepared; but when, instead, I saw the white visage of Miss Wragge framed in that round opening of sand, followed by her body crawling on all-fours, her eyes bulging and reflecting the yellow glare of the candles, my first instinct was to turn and run like a frantic animal seeking a way of escape.
Blackwood, The Nemesis of Fire The immense marble scarabaeus on the floor of the gallery vibrated with incipient animation; then it stretched forth its huge feelers and opened its massy wings, like a newly born insect trying the properties of its novel limbs; and next, with the heavy cumbrous motion of a tortoise, it crept across the floor, throwing back the moonbeams from its polished surface, towards the principal entrance of the gallery.
