Pompeii's Ashes focuses on the many ways Pompeii and Herculaneum feature in fiction, drama, music, and cinema and shows how interest in the oldest running archaeological projects in the world continue until now. It begins with an analysis of their excavation history, and continues with discussions of travelers' reports and their depiction in historical novels, contemporary and time traveling adventures, and works dedicated to Vesuvius
