The Mummy's Soul is an anonymous short story first published in The Knickerbocker, or New York Monthly Magazine in May 1862. Scholarly analysis identifies it as one of the earliest American curse fiction tales, predating Louisa May Alcott’s Lost in a Pyramid (1869) and Jane G. Austin’s After Three Thousand Years (1868).
The plot follows a narrator who desecrates an Egyptian tomb and removes a stone scarabaeus inscribed with the prophecy, "three thousand years hence a new life." Upon returning to America, the narrator's wife begins to physically and spiritually wither, eventually dying. The narrator later discovers a supernatural fly in his home, which he burns, but he is haunted by the reanimated mummy from the tomb, which seeks magical revenge for the desecration. This narrative established a template for the "mummy curse" genre, linking tomb disturbance with supernatural retribution.
