Rating All 19 Lovecraft Stories Within the Necronomicon (Audible Audio Book) ~ Part 19 - Under the Pyramids.
At the end of my review journey came this Egyptian-themed horror short story. Also known under the names Imprisoned with the Pharaohs and Entombed with the Pharaohs, Under the Pyramids follows the legendary escape artist/magician Harry Houdini and his fear-laden trip through Cairo.
Lovecraft, again, paints an incredible picture of fantastic sights with dream-like wondrousness, though, ultimately, the pay-off is rather lacklustre and left me with an unfulfilled desire to know more about the ancient world beneath the Pyramids of Giza and the horrors that have lived beneath Egypt for aeons.

If I could give this a 3.5 I would.
It's not one of Lovecraft's best works, but it has its moments

Houdini? Strange. The Egypt setting is interesting, I didn't expect that. This one just didn't draw me in at all. I wish it was more ''show, not tell'', I think that would have made it more thrilling.
