Kolchak: The Night Stalker – Haunted & Hunted
From the bestselling author of The X-Files: The Official Archives comes five brand new Carl Kolchak tales full of dogged reporting and inescapable terror...
Guess Who?
What would you do if you were stuck inside a haunted airport, with your dyspeptic boss, during a blackout? Kolchak uncovers a cold case where aviation history, a terrifying game, and a vengeful ghost collide with baggage-claim delays, publishing deadlines, and Fettuccine Alfredo.
Abduction Island
Catalina is a beautiful island off the coast of California, home to hillside vistas, scuba-loving holidaymakers, and bizarre UFO sightings. What was supposed to be an upbeat travel assignment rapidly descends into madness, where Kolchak discovers there really is no such thing as a free lunch.
Lake of the Damned
A smashed-up cassette tape found on a Lake Tahoe beach pulls Kolchak into a story where the fate of a missing young reporter is on the line. What are the authorities ignoring? And how does local chatter about a lake monster fit into this murky, extremely fishy tale?
Kindness Can Kill You
When driving alone, on an all-day-long road trip, it's not just planning your rest stops that requires careful consideration. Seeing a hitchhiker provokes feelings of concern but also caution. In the middle of nowhere, at the dead of night, one decision by Kolchak leads to the breakdown from hell...
Promises, Promises
During an unexpected winter assignment in Paris, France, a jet-lagged Kolchak comes face to face with an impossible crime scene. Did a gigantic stone gargoyle from Notre Dame Cathedral come to life and commit murder outside his hotel? Is it a fiendish hoax, or something more diabolical?

What I really enjoyed most about this book is that the author not only got Kolchak right — he got the various secondary characters that Carl encounters in his adventures. They're often as quirky and unconventional as our hero and that really elevated these stories above other recent Kolchak books and comics. Here's hoping Mr Terry revisits this character in the future.

Kolchak is back!
If you’re a fan of the original tv series and movies then you’ll love this collection of short stories. The author really nails Kolchak’s voice from the show and there are enough references sprinkled in to keep fans happy but without alienating new readers.
Fun, creepy and inventive. Made me want to go back a rewatch the show.
