The Kolchak Papers: The Original Novels by Jeff Rice

In 1972, Jeff Rice's novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became an instant best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name. After The Night Stalker became one of the highest rated television movies of all time, a sequel, The Night Strangler, was released the following year to great acclaim. Now, after more than three decades out of print, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume.

Cry of Thunder: Sherlock Holmes & Kolchak the Night Stalker by Joe Gentile

Two of the most unique investigators of all time try to untangle the same mystery, 100 years apart from each other. Set in the lawless Wild West, the hidden world of Victorian London, and the present-day hell of Hollywood, Cry of Thunder: Sherlock Holmes & Kolchak the Night Stalker follows Holmes' trail of a man who was wrongfully - and willingly - imprisoned; a shocking New World Order anarchy; a beautiful woman who needs Kolchak to delve into the surreal past; and the shunned man who holds the key.

Kolchak and the Lost World by C. J. Henderson

After convincing a serial killer to confess, newspaper reporter Kolchak is offered an international assignment with massive coverage around the world. With fame and fortune finally within reach, he's ready to cover the story - until he's confronted by a mysterious monk who warns him that "the 72 must always be". What this means is not explained. But before he knows it, Kolchak's dreams are invaded by inexplicable images warning him that every step he takes toward the big story is bringing him closer to death.

Cool

One of the best stories and characters ever written. This is a not to miss opportunity. Fun, interesting and entertaining.

Enjoying the collection.

Love this book and all the stories. Takes me front and center in each story

mixed bag

1st is the best. 2nd less so. The others are just weird and in my opinion don't seem like Kolchak at all, but rather some entirely new character who just happens to have the same name.

it was great.

I loved everything it was amazing felt like I was watching the show all over again. Great job!!

Glad I got it, but...

The first two books in this collection are very good. Being the original Kolchak stories, that makes sense. The remaining two books come across as fan fiction of moderate quality. Plot holes, mischaracterizations and rather lazy story telling plague both. Still, I’m glad I got this collection for the two originals alone. They are well worth the annoyance of the other two.

That said, the narrator is excellent in the role of Kolchak. I very much enjoyed his style and presentation of the material.
