📝 Description: Brood of the Witch-Queen
Brood of the Witch-Queen, a compelling novel of Egyptian horror. Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (15 February 1883 - 1 June 1959), better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is most remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. He published his first novel Pause! anonymously in 1910 and the first Fu Manchu story, The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu, was serialized over 1912-13. It was an immediate success with its fast paced story of Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie facing the worldwide conspiracy of the 'Yellow Peril'. The Fu Manchu stories, together with those featuring Gaston Max or Morris Klaw, made Rohmer one of the most successful and well-paid writers in of the 1920s and 1930s. But Rohmer was very poor at handling his wealth. After World War II the Rohmers moved to New York. Rohmer died in 1959 due to an outbreak of avian influenza ("Asian Flu").

This novel represents a distinct chapter in Sax Rohmer’s career, diverging from his famous Fu Manchu series to explore Egyptian horror. Although Rohmer is best known for his master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu and the worldwide conspiracy faced by Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie, this work highlights his versatility during the 1920s and 1930s. It suits readers interested in the historical trajectory of English horror writers who handled exotic settings with varying degrees of success. The book provides insight into an author who was once one of the most well-paid in his field, despite poor financial management. It is essential for scholars examining Rohmer’s output between his anonymous 1910 debut and his later years in New York.
