Complete with photos from each of the productions, this is the first time these screenplays have ever been published.
The book is edited by acclaimed Kolchak chronicler Mark Dawidziak (who also wrote the in-depth THE NIGHT STALKER COMPANION), and includes interviews with Matheson, William F. Nolan, Jeff Rice, and Dan Curtis.
The book comes complete with never-before-released Kolchak artwork and photos that will be a delight for all Night Stalker fans.
"The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler" - for those who don't know - were two Movies of the Week in 1972 and 1973, respectively, and it was these movies that led to the Kolchak television series, which ran from 1974 to 1975.
The highlight of the collection, however, is "The Night Killers," an unproduced script written by Matheson and Nolan, and whose rights are still retained by director/producer Dan Curtis.
This is an excellent Matheson collectible.
