The Devouring Tomb

By Steve Tovey

Egypt, 1801.
An ancient tomb has been opened.
Something inside is still alive.

When a British expedition disappears in the Egyptian desert, Captain Edward Ashford and a small detachment of soldiers are sent to investigate. Their orders are simple: locate the missing men and secure the site.

But the tomb they uncover is older than the empire that sent them.

Beneath the sand lies a forgotten structure carved long before the pyramids fell to ruin. Its entrance burns with an unnatural light. Strange markings cover the stone. And something waits inside that should have remained buried forever.

As night falls across the desert, the soldiers begin to realise the truth:

They are not explorers.

They are intruders.

One by one the expedition begins to vanish, drawn deeper into the ancient corridors where shadows move, whispers echo through the stone, and the dead refuse to remain silent.

What was sealed inside The Devouring Tomb is awakening.

And it is hungry.
