This thread is reminding me of past favorites now long forgotten. Time to revisit them I think, especially Aquaman's suggestion of Anne Rice's The Mummy. Excellent book and much easier to get into than the Vampire Chronicles (although Queen of the Damned is my fave from Anne)

And Sweetstuff....what an impressive list of Canadian works. May I add Farley Mowat to the list? Specifically Lost in the Barrens and Curse of the Viking Grave. I just saw Lost in the Barrens on Bingo and a Movie Saturday night and remembered enjoying it some 25 years or so ago.
