The next story in The Supernatural Writings of Stuart Palmer is up!
In The Red Curse of the Mummy, Ted Orchards recounts his experiences during an expedition to excavate the tomb of the Pharoah Amenophis (Akhenaten). It did not go well.
The story's author is given as "Theodore Orchards," making this an ostensibly first-hand account. James Sieger's 1973 Ghost Stories index identifies Orchards as a probable pseudonym for Stuart Palmer. Sieger notes that "[Editor Harold] Hersey spilled [the] beans in Apr. 1931 editorial."
Despite the title, there really isn't much mummy in this story. It's better described as a "pharoah's curse" tale. The idea of such a curse gained a lot of traction a few years before this story appeared, after the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in late 1922. The leader of that expedition, Lord Carnavon, died about four months after the tomb's opening; his death, and several others, were rumored to have been caused by a curse against the descecrators of the tomb.
The death in this tale is a bit more dramatic---and much less ambiguous---than the deaths of King Tut's supposed victims. It's not one of Palmer's best ghost stories, in my opinion, and the native workers are portrayed in a rather condescending way. Still, a cursed tomb is a good pulpy subject; and at least I learned who Akhenanten was. If you like classic pulp, give this one a try.
