Masterton's sequel to his successful Manitou ticks all the boxes for a successful horror novel. There's an appropriate air of menace and the enemy and it's machinations become clearer as the pages are turned. Ultimately Harry and his medicine man friend will pitch their efforts against the malevolent Misquamacus, who's back with a new and insidious plan. As the rule of sequels dictates, the action is broader, faster and with bigger implications. The horror however, is more subtle than his later work, although there is one particular stand out scene where Masterton's genius stands out. In summary, Revenge is never spine-tingling, yet it is good entertainment. Voici le 2nd tome de la trilogie Manitou. Oui, Manitou est de retour et pour notre plus grand plaisir, ainsi que Singing Rock et Harry Erskine avec son humour ravageur. Graham Masterton est toujours aussi doué pour nous faire trembler et nous intéresser aux rites, dieux et magies indiennes. Il rend en plus un grand hommage à Lovecraft ce qui est un atout supplémentaire à ce livre. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

No one believed little Toby Fenner when he described the man in his wardrobe. A man whose face seemed to grow from the very wood. People smiled when Toby insisted he heard voices begging him for help. Until one day Toby woke up as someone else... And by then, things had gone too far to stop the return of a timeless, malignant force with a burning mission of vengeance for events centuries in the past. The Manitou had been vanquished once before. This time he would not fail. This time evil reborn returned triumphant... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I was so wrong. I actually got more out of this the second time around.
The story takes a bit to get going, and I'm sorry, but ain't no one gonna think it a good idea to head to the police and spin a story about 22 reincarnated Native American medicine men coming back to kill a bunch of white men.
But overall, the fun was absolutely there, the darkness was there, Harry Erskine and Singing Rock were there—and can I just say I absolutely loved Singing Rock this time around?
The ending was a bit of a let down, feeling like Misquamacus was going a bit easy on Harry and Neil this time around.
I think the thing that jazzed me the most about this one? The way Masterton wove Lovecraftian monsters into the Native American lore. Cthulhu becomes Ka-tua-la-hu.
Nicely played, Mr. Masterton, nicely played. ( )
