Why read it?

2 authors picked Dead Egyptians as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I find myself drawn to books that span multiple genres, and Dead Egyptians is one of my favorites.

Is it historical fiction, paranormal fantasy, magical realism, or homoerotic thriller? Yes, yes it is. Add in some (spoiler alert) really kinky sex between two gods, and boy, is this a book that defies easy categorization. 

The story careens across multiple genres, including historical fiction, paranormal fantasy, and magical realism, never fully settling firmly on any one of them. In the hands of a less capable author, this would quite frankly be disorienting, but the bones of the plot are revealed as skillfully as a sculptor chipping away at a block of marble. Another weird read, which is why I loved it.
