I can't recommend THE MANITOU highly enough. Don't have TENGU, but I always pick up whatever Masterton I find. Oh and thanks for the link!Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126523682465389764.post-8902258309692396422013-06-17T18:26:02.134-04:002013-06-17T18:26:02.134-04:00Yes!

I rather liked the incorporation of the lesser-known (and heck, probably made-up by Masterton) Japanese sorcery and magic. A lot of surreal, dreamlike imagery, such as the Plains Indian-like suspension by piercings seen on the cover of the PB, or the white Tengu demon masks of the possessed berserkers.Bobby Trosclairnoreply@blogger.com
