Series
Manitou / Harry Erskine
Graham Masterton · 6 novels · 1 novelette · 1 short story · 1975–2015
Graham Masterton's Manitou series follows Harry Erskine, a fraudulent New York fortune teller drawn into real supernatural danger when a client's tumor turns out to be the reincarnating spirit of a vengeful centuries-old medicine man. Erskine allies with the modern medicine man John Singing Rock to fight the manitou, a Native American spiritual life-force, across the original novel and its sequels. Blending horror with Algonquian spiritual concepts, the series follows Erskine through repeated returns of ancient evil rather than one continuous plot.
