Limited edition

Published 2003 Gauntlet publisher Barry Hoffman worked for 2 ½ years to secure all the rights and permissions to publish Richard Matheson s three KOLCHAK SCREENPLAYS . This is the first release of The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler (two Movies of the Week  in 1972 and 1973, respectively, which led to the Kolchak series 1974-1975), plus The Night Killers (an unproduced script whose rights are still retained by Dan Curtis, and may one day become a feature film). Acclaimed Kolchak chronicler Mark Dawidziak edits the book, which includes interviews with Matheson , William F. Nolan (who co-wrote The Night Killers ), Dan Curtis and Jeff Rice (creator of the Kolchak character).

These pieces have also never been published before. Some of these illustrations appear in the Numbered edition, a few only in the Lettered edition, and a few more in a chapbook of illustrations/photos that will be free to anyone ordering the book from Gauntlet.
