Synopsis
One of the classic horror novels of the seventies, Graham
Masterton's debut novel is a tale of revenge as an ancient Red Indian
medicine man is reincarnated in modern day New York intent on reclaiming his
land from the white men.
Bestsellers Magazine described it as "a tale that just won't let go,
and which will have them screaming for more. Highly and memorably visual,
The Manitou aches for translation onto film: the special effects
possibilities are virtually never-ending ... word of mouth could make it this
year's rage!"
In fact, the book was made into a film by William Girdler, starring Tony
Curtis and Susan Strasberg.
This special Telos edition celebrates the 25th
anniversary of this novel and is available in two editions; a limited
edition, signed and numbered hardback and a paperback. Both feature a
new introduction by Graham Masterton, and the
book's original ending which, after publication in the first hardback edition,
was changed for all subsequent editions. The revised ending is also present so
readers can at last make their own minds up. Both editions feature internal
illustrations taken from pre-production drawings for the 1978 William Girdler
film which have never before seen publication. The paperback features two of
these in full colour on the cover whilst the hardback features an additional
colour section with 12 full colour illustrations and is limited to 100 copies,
each signed by Masterton.
