Karen fait d'épouvantables cauchemars. Chaque matin, la tumeur qui déforme son cou est un peu plus grosse. Cette tumeur qui bouge est inopérable et laisse les médecins perplexes.

About the author
Graham Masterton
381 books2,020 followersGraham Masterton was born in Edinburgh in 1946. His grandfather was Thomas Thorne Baker, the eminent scientist who invented DayGlo and was the first man to transmit news photographs by wireless. After training as a newspaper reporter, Graham went on to edit the new British men's magazine Mayfair, where he encouraged William Burroughs to develop a series of scientific and philosophical articles which eventually became Burroughs' novel The Wild Boys.
At the age of 24, Graham was appointed executive editor of both Penthouse and Penthouse Forum magazines. At this time he started to write a bestselling series of sex 'how-to' books including How To Drive Your Man Wild In Bed which has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. His latest, Wild Sex For New Lovers is published by Penguin Putnam in January, 2001. He is a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Woman, Woman's Own and other mass-market self-improvement magazines.
Graham Masterton's debut as a horror author began with The Manitou in 1976, a chilling tale of a Native American medicine man reborn in the present day to exact his revenge on the white man. It became an instant bestseller and was filmed with Tony Curtis, Susan Strasberg, Burgess Meredith, Michael Ansara, Stella Stevens and Ann Sothern.
Altogether Graham has written more than a hundred novels ranging from thrillers (The Sweetman Curve, Ikon) to disaster novels (Plague, Famine) to historical sagas (Rich and Maiden Voyage - both appeared in the New York Times bestseller list). He has published four collections of short stories, Fortnight of Fear, Flights of Fear, Faces of Fear and Feelings of Fear.
He has also written horror novels for children (House of Bones, Hair-Raiser) and has just finished the fifth volume in a very popular series for young adults, Rook, based on the adventures of an idiosyncratic remedial English teacher in a Los Angeles community college who has the facility to see ghosts.
Since then Graham has published more than 35 horror novels, including Charnel House, which was awarded a Special Edgar by Mystery Writers of America; Mirror, which was awarded a Silver Medal by West Coast Review of Books; and Family Portrait, an update of Oscar Wilde's tale, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which was the only non-French winner of the prestigious Prix Julia Verlanger in France.
He and his wife Wiescka live in a Gothic Victorian mansion high above the River Lee in Cork, Ireland.

Ce livre regroupe les créations de Masterton sur l'un de ses persos récurrents : Misquamacus. Le premier "Manitou" permet une bonne entrée en matière sur la thématique de l'homme Indien qui cherche à se venger de l'Amérique blanche, et se révèle plutôt divertissante et gore. Il introduit en outre des personnages qui vont être développés jusqu'à la dernière nouvelle (Erskine bien sûr, mais aussi Karen Tandy, Amélia...). Le deuxième "la vengeance du Manitou" est moins approfondi, plus accessoire, mais nous contente tout de même dans les retrouvailles des premiers personnages (dont Singing Rock). Le troisième "L'ombre du Manitou" est à mon avis le meilleur : très fouillé, très bien écrit (le style de Masterton a pris de l'épaisseur), drôle et cynique via le personnage d'Erskine bien rythmé malgré un nombre de pages largement supérieur au premier par exemple. Bon il y a quelques raccourcis dans l'histoire qui manquent de développement et sont plutôt cousus de fil blanc (le bébé voulu par Misquamacus...) mais franchement il vaut son pesant de cacahuètes ne serait-ce que par les détails ultra gores !!! A vomir son quatre heures ! Quant à la nouvelle qui clôture l'intégrale, mieux vaut passer son chemine : ultra poussive et sans intérêt.

J'aurais pas du lire tout d'un coup, c’était beaucoup trop long, c'est une bonne histoire mais qui se répète , ils découvrent le méchant, il fait des dégâts, ils cherchent comment le vaincre, ils le tue, il revient dans le tome d'après.
Des bon passages bien gore, et des moments un peut plus long
Je pense m'en tenir là et ne pas lire les 2 autres tomes
