The 5th Witch

<div>An ancient vengeful spirit attempts to return through the body of a terrified young woman in this horror classic by an award-winning &ldquo;master of the genre&rdquo; (Rocky Mountain News). Phony psychic and conman Harry Erskine never really believed in the occult until Karen Tandy approached him with a rapidly growing tumor on her neck, complaining of dark and disturbing dreams. When the mass is revealed by doctors to contain something living, the stakes skyrocket&mdash;not only for Karen and Harry but for all humanity. Something terrible is returning from the shadows to which it has been confined for centuries&mdash;a Native American monstrosity determined to destroy every vestige of the white race that oppressed and preyed upon America&rsquo;s Indians. And unless a motley group of ill-prepared defenders can harness an ancient native magic, there will be no stopping the malevolent shaman&rsquo;s terrible rebirth&mdash;and no escaping the wholesale carnage it will engender. The Manitou introduced the great Graham Masterton to the canon of horror, instantly placing him among the genre&rsquo;s elite. A longtime favorite for its bold originality, unrelenting creepiness, supernatural shocks, and otherworldly surprises that would have made H. P. Lovecraft proud, Masterton&rsquo;s classic continues to stand tall alongside Stephen King&rsquo;s Carrie, Peter Straub&rsquo;s Ghost Story, and other unforgettable literary horror debuts.</div>
