Smith and the pharaohs and other tales is a collection of short stories that explores ancient obsessions, supernatural mysteries, and the fragile boundary between the modern and the eternal. The central story follows a reserved man whose fascination with an Egyptian artifact leads him from a quiet academic life into a strange journey of discovery and transformation. His curiosity, sparked by a sculpted face in the British Museum, drives him beyond scholarly interest and into the realm of ancient tombs and spectral presences. The initial chapter traces his rise from obscurity and his obsessive attraction to the past, suggesting that his growing knowledge comes at a cost. He becomes consumed not only by relics but by the intangible weight of forgotten lives, revealing a connection between personal longing and the mystique of the ancient world. This haunting sense of continuity runs throughout the stories in the volume, binding together dreams of grandeur, the decay of empires, and the eerie persistence of memory. The collection hints at the way death, history, and desire merge in the human effort to recover lost meaning.
