This is the 4th in the Manitou series. I really enjoyed the first three and love Masterton's books but I just couldn't get into this one at all and so it hit the wall I'm afraid.

A bizarre epidemic is sweeping New York City. Doctors can only watch as, one by one, victims fall prey to a very unusual blood disorder. They become unable to eat solid food, are extremely sensitive to daylight - and they have an irresistible need to drink human blood....

A strange disease has overtaken New York City. The hospital is overwhelmed with people vomitting copious quantities of blood and then dying. Dr. Frank Winter is the doctor on call when the first patient is admitted so he has a vested interest in the outcome. In his quest for the cause, he encounters Jenica of Romanian descent. In another part of town, Harry Erskine, a psychic visionary, is also encountering strange phenomena and in his flight, encounters Gil Johnson, an ex-national guardsman...more
I really love Graham Masterson--I am so over vampire literature that if he had not written this I would not have touched it--having said that, it is a great take on the on the whole vampiric thing with a neato Native American twist.
I have loved the whole Manitou series, ( I love Native American themed horror in general, when it is researched and done well as Masterson's books usually are). It is also fun to see Harry Erskine back from the other Manitou books--his character is always fu...more

Doctor Frank is watching a quite spectacular street mime when she suddenly starts to throw up blood. Despite tests they are unable to find out what is wrong with her. Then another case is submitted with the same symptoms. And another and another. What is going on? Is it a new disease? Could the tabloids really be true that it's something to do with vampires?
I enjoyed it. It was a good read.
I enjoyed it. It was a good read.
my biggest complaint about this book was how disjointed it felt. the first few chapters started off with one character, and followed his story in the third person, when all of a sudden, the book switched to an entirely different character, speaking in the first person, and then proceeded to go back and forth between the two until about halfway through the book, when it switched entirely over to the first person narrative. and this brings me to my second biggest complaint -- that that first-per...more
Overall very good read. I couldn't put it down. I liked that the book wasn't the same old vampire story and had a lot of mystery.
What great fun vampires in league with the Native American wonder worker from the first three Manitou books. Shows how hard it is to keep a good villain down.
I felt Masterton did a good job of integrating the real life horror of 9/11 and its aftermath with another kind of terror attack on New York. He also seems to have taken on board some of the ideas from J-Horror.
I felt it could have had an epilogue as the end again came a bit suddenly. How, for example, did the...more
One of the later installments in Manitou series.
It was all right, but not a 5 starred vampire horror novel.
The weakest of all the Manitou novels. Despite sharing the main character and the villain with the previous three novels, this book is only tangentially linked, and sort of reads as if the Manitou was inserted into a vampire novel as an after thought. The author glides over plot discrepancies from the other books with careless abandon and neglects to age Harry Eskrine ten or fifteen years.
Graham Masterton is one of my favourite authors. After reading The Manitou and Revenge of The Manitou I was really looking forward to reading this. It was nice to see the return of Harry Erskine and Singing Rock or should I say Singiing Rock's spirit. I always picture Tony Curtis when I think of Harry Erskine
