About this listen
A legend is born. In 1972, Jeff Rice's novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became a best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name, starring Darren McGavin and adapted by legendary Twilight Zone screenwriter Richard Matheson. 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.
Carl Kolchak, as the world's first paranormal investigator, would prove to be an irresistible draw for viewers and inspire a weekly dramatic television series which debuted in 1974.
A legend returns. Now, after more than three decades out of print, Kolchak's creator Jeff Rice has released the original novels which sparked the television phenomenon! At last, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume: The Kolchak Papers!
Twenty-one years before Kolchak inspired Chris Carter to create The X-Files, there was only one paranormal investigator. Now fans everywhere can relive the adventures of Carl Kolchak in this single, remarkable volume!

Story
On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

Fun listen for a Kolchak fan
Interesting to hear the narration and recall the TV series of my childhood. Stories are as I expected and the overall flow kept me interested until the end.
Listened to audiobook.

Discovered a new gem of a series
Thoroughly enjoyed it! The detective story element has me hoping that Kolchak would actually become a supernatural sleuth. I can see how it influenced the X Files.

Definitely inspired X-Files episode "Squeeze."
Definitely inspired my favorite X-Files episode "Squeeze." I'm new to Kolchak and I am not disappointed.

Decent Little Story
The performance was what really made this fun for me—and listening at 1.8X that increased the intensity. Decent little story.

I absolutely loved this!
I grew up long after the TV show was off the air. caught The Night Stalker movie on TCM when I was a kid and then found the TV series which I binge watch every year. Finding this on Audible made my day. If you like the gritty flavor of 70s drama this is right up your alley. For context, my favorite shows are Quincy M.E., Kolchak The Night Stalker, Dark Shadows, and yes, St. Elsewhere from the early eighties. I love this book.

Classic Spooky Story
Very interesting and excellent work. I saw the TV movies and it’s nice to hear the unabridged stories.

Kolchak at his best!
I was afraid the books might not be as interesting and entertaining as the TV series that I love so much! BOY WAS I WRONG! THESE STORIES ARE FANTASTIC!! I LOVED THEM! 5 STARS! A must for any Kolchak fan!!
