Harry Erskine battles the Manitou again with a shaman and dead allies.
This sequel continues the saga of Harry Erskine, the con-artist introduced in The Manitou. Masterton brings back the author's signature blend of urban fantasy and horror. The narrative centers on Erskine's renewed conflict with the vengeful spirit known as the Manitou. He does not act alone this time. A shaman provides spiritual support for the fight. Two deceased individuals also contribute their presence to the battle. The story positions this clash as a defense of contemporary American society against ancient evil. The text relies on the established history of the characters rather than introducing new lore. It serves as a direct continuation of the events that spawned a movie and its sequel, Revenge of the Manitou.
Graham Masterton published this work through Tor Books in 1994. It follows his earlier novel The Manitou, which inspired a film and a sequel. The story engages with American supernatural fiction traditions by pitting modern characters against ancient spirits.

📖 Why choose it
Why this book is worth reading
Readers who enjoyed the initial confrontation between Erskine and the spirit will find this volume a direct follow-up. It appeals to fans of supernatural fiction and gothic horror traditions. Those seeking standalone novels might find the reliance on prior character history limiting. The book suits audiences interested in con-artist protagonists facing otherworldly threats. It does not offer a fresh start for new readers unfamiliar with Erskine's past exploits.
