Review Summary
    In October 1992, an earthquake strikes Cairo and an ancient temple is destroyed. In the tradition of the classic legend of the mummy's curse, something has awakened!
       In the Lovecraftian vein, The Hunting Sorrow comes out of Egypt to fulfill this ancient curse. But this is no simple walking dead. This is a spirit of immense supernatural power and horror.
       And it will stop at nothing until the crimes against the ancient dead have been avenged!

Nicholas Roman, Resident Scholar
