Summary

In the heart of rural Hampshire, the small town of Clevedon has always been a place where residents look out for each other, and neighbors ensure a warm welcome is given to newcomers.
 
When a secret chamber is discovered in the basement of a recently deceased Professor of Egyptology, the contents prove to be more than mere artifacts and trinkets. Hidden within lies the sarcophagus of a mummy, Anlet-Un-Ri. A warrior and leader of the Pharaoh's army, her death remains a mystery to this day.
 
Soon, a reign of terror is unleashed upon the small town, as an ancient power 3000 years from the past comes to life. Can the people of Clevedon find a way to stop her, or will they succumb to the monster resurrected from her eternal slumber?

Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village séance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.
