Kolchak: The Night Stalker is one of the most beloved horror heroes — and now he’s making a comeback. Kolchak’s adventures as a dogged reporter who both investigated and battled the paranormal enthralled TV audiences, with his 1972 debut being the highest-rated TV-movie in American history at the time. But many fans of Darren McGavin’s take on the character still may not know that Kolchak originated in the pages of a novel by Jeff Rice.
Monstrous Books is looking to change that. The company has announced a Kickstarter campaign to release a deluxe edition of Kolchak: The Night Stalker by Jeff Rice, with some brand-new additions from some major names in the genre. James Aquilone spoke with CBR to discuss why Kolchak is “always relevant” and what readers can expect as they see where the character’s adventures all began.
Many viewers were introduced to Kolchak through the 1970s TV series, so this Kickstarter campaign may be their first exposure to the book. What makes the print version of Kolchak still relevant in 2024?
