The Manitou
The Manitou | Graham Masterton
8 posts | 7 read | 10 to read
An ancient, powerful, and vengeful spirit attempts to reenter the world through the body of a terrified young woman in this horror classic. Phony psychic and conman Harry Erskine never really believed in the occult until Karen Tandy approached him with a rapidly growing tumor on her neck, complaining of dark and disturbing dreams. When the mass is revealed by doctors to contain something living, the stakes skyrocketnot only for Karen and Harry but for all humanity. Something terrible is returning from the shadows to which it has been confined for centuriesa Native American monstrosity determined to destroy every vestige of the white race that oppressed and preyed upon Americas Indians. And unless a motley group of ill-prepared defenders can harness an ancient native magic, there will be no stopping the malevolent shamans terrible rebirthand no escaping the wholesale carnage it will engender. The Manitou introduced the great Graham Masterton to the canon of horror, instantly placing him among the genres elite. A longtime favorite for its bold originality, unrelenting creepiness, supernatural shocks, and otherworldly surprises that would have made H. P. Lovecraft proud, Mastertons classic continues to stand tall alongside Stephen Kings Carrie, Peter Straubs Ghost Story, and other unforgettable literary horror debuts.

This book kicked ass and my only regret was I didn't have more time to read it in one sitting. It is honestly the most unique knock off of "The Exorist" that i have ever encountered. It is flatout supernatural suspense until the end when it becomes a huge gore fest. Also, the book provided a unique social commentary in regards to how America's bloody past rides on the backs of all Americans and one day it will come full circle for revenge.

Some thrift store horror paperback finds. Digging the "Fright Night" novelization as its by Skipp & Spector whose work I love.
