The Manitou
ByPublisher Description
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
, the stakes skyrocket—not only for Karen and Harry but for all humanity.
Something terrible is returning from the shadows to which it has been confined for centuries—a Native American monstrosity determined to destroy every vestige of the white race that oppressed and preyed upon America's Indians. And unless a motley group of ill-prepared defenders can harness an ancient native magic, there will be no stopping the malevolent shaman's terrible rebirth—and no escaping the wholesale carnage it will engender.
introduced the great Graham Masterton to the canon of horror, instantly placing him among the genre's elite. A longtime favorite for its bold originality, unrelenting creepiness, supernatural shocks, and otherworldly surprises that would have made H. P. Lovecraft proud, Masterton's classic continues to stand tall alongside Stephen King's
, Peter Straub's
, and other unforgettable literary horror debuts.

“Nie było aż tak źle jak się spodziewałem ale dobrze też nie. Jeżeli to najlepsza książka tego autora go poprzeczka jest naprawdę nisko.
Trzeba przyznać że momentami wciąga w historię ale nie robi tego co horror powinien robić. Dla mnie straszna była tylko jedna scena. Jak ten jasnowidz siedział na czatach przed pokojem Karen i wtedy ten szaman zabił pielęgniarza. Może dlatego że byłem pod wpływem Sally Face i Incydentu z Mortadelą.
Nie podoba mi się co ta książka mówi na temat kolonializmu i kultury rdzennych Amerykanów. To dziwne że ktoś kto pochodzi z plemienia Siuksów używa chusteczki do nosa????? I wszędzie PEŁNO BYŁO white guilt.
Myślę że tak historia byłaby ciekawsza jakby opowiadał ją lekarz.
Poza tym mam uwierzyć że każdy tak szybko przyjął do wiadomości że Karen padła ofiarą szamana? Że chodzą i mówią że ona może umrzeć i trzeba ocalić jej życie a przy tym ginie kilku innych ludzi? A ostatecznie i tak uratowali ją przyzywając DUSZĘ KOMPUTERA?? NIE ROZUMIEM.”
“An incredible work, with fear and discomfort like few others, definitely one of the best reads of the year, with an extremely original plot, development, and origins.”
