Nice collection of short stories for this character. Entertaining read. Recommended
January 26, 2017
Pretty much everything I said at the start of my review of Kolchak: The Night Stalker Chronicles applies here - this is fan fiction, essentially, and should aspire at best to be enjoyable episodes of the TV show long after the fact. Also, as I said previously, the short story format is perhaps not the best for attempts to replicate the KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER episode formula in all its plot beats (most writers here give us the usual confrontation with "long suffering editor" Tony Vincenzo, and the expected denouement wherein all evidence is lost, a few shoehorn in fact-checking visits to the morgue and Gordie the Ghoul - making a welcome reappearance - or the expected combat with the local police chief, but there's not many little sketchy character turns by experts or sarcastic interviews with witnesses). Still, the reduced number of stories offers some hope that a little more room to stretch might mean a higher level of quality, and the book's "second attempt" status might also mean some of the writers could learn from preceding mistakes. On the other hand, as a follow up to CHRONICLES, these could also be the stuff that just didn't make the cut in the first place.
Well, in the end, it pretty much works out to be very much like the first book, all in all. The extra space isn't used to much effect overall - although it does give Mark Dawidziak the chance to turn in an honest to goodness Kolchak novella - and yet these stories aren't really much worse (or better) than what was in CHRONICLES. And I liked some of CHRONICLES, so....
As usual, there are the expected clunkers and "character explorations" that I feel just don't work for our pugnacious member of the journalist trade. The latter are to be found in "Alternate Endings" by John Ostrander (one of a number of comic book authors present here), "Brief Encounter" by Pierce Askegren (similar to the Steven Grant story in CHRONICLES) and the editor's own "Until Tomorrow". It is perhaps indicative of the problems I have with the "deep down feelings of Kolchak" approach that 2 of these 3 stories need to posit a wonderful, now deceased, love-of-his-life for Carl before they can begin the emotional angst ("Until Tomorrow", in fact, would almost qualify as that old fan-fic story type, the "hurt/comfort" tale, in this case involving Tony and Carl. Ugh.).
The former (weaker tales) generally tend to be too goofy: "Bones of The Past" by the Richard Dean Starr features the spirit of a viking who discovered America before Columbus - it reads in the wacky spirit of TV episodes like "The Youth Killer" (Carl against an immortal Helen of Troy, if you've forgotten) and features a very entertaining Tony/Carl face-off to begin with, but suffers with a flat non-ending (and the rather ridiculous authorial conceit that Carl worked in the NSA at some point). The cartoonish "Broken Willow" by Gary Phillips, and the same author's "Blues, Sex and Bad, Hot Mojo" read like story outlines rather than full tales and "Blues" cheats its ending by giving Kolchak a deus-ex-machina occult-expert girlfriend. "Stealing Fire" by Rachel Caine has Prometheus attend the anniversary of the first A-Bomb blast while Carl stands around, mostly, until he can make an unlikely offer. Eh. Robert Randisi's "Call Me Sam" teams up Kolchak and the ghost of Dashiell Hammett, to no great effect.
In fact, a number of the stories suffer from flat or deus-ex-machina endings. "Power Hungry" by P.N. Elrod has an energy eating creature (see "The Energy Eater" from the original series... but not) haunting a psychics convention and pulls the same trick as the ending of "Blues" mentioned above (although somewhat better written in this case). "And" by Dave Ulanski features an invisible creature conjured from the mind of an injured martinet music director ("The Spanish Moss Murders" from the original series...anyone?) and isn't half bad, until the rushed and sketchy ending. That rushed ending problem also plagues "Digger" by Christopher Golden and Rick Hautula, in which a grave-robbing ghoul causes problems for a fake psychic. Again, there's a nicely written Tony/Carl fight, but the weak ending would have made it a mediocre episode at best. "They Came From The Dark Ride" is pretty entertaining, featuring a ancient Coney Island ride plagued by the spirits of those lost in a horrific fire, but, again, there's no compelling ending to Elizabeth Massie's story.
On the solid but oddball side, there's "Fish Story" by Mike Baron. Lake monster stories are always a hard sell and Baron doesn't help matters by still feeling the need to prove his Libertarian curmudgeon status and (completely out of character - original series "The Sentry") make Kolchak a cigarette smoker just so Carl can complain about laws against smoking in bars (oh, darn that Big Gubmint!). I still miss the monthly goofiness of Baron's BADGER comic, and this story has his usual deft hand at oddball characters, but, like I said, lake monsters are a hard sell.
The best stories here aspire to be solid episodes of THE NIGHT STALKER TV show and a few succeed. "Pirate's Blood" by James Reasoner puts Carl on a pleasure cruise when a Donald Trump-like magnate is pursued by ghostly pirates. It would have been a fun episode. John Everson's "The Strange Events At Vishnu Springs" takes Carl out of his urban milieu and into a strange, abandoned town in the middle of nowhere, plagued by mysterious deaths. There's a nice eerie atmosphere in this one (a old hotel full of dead female spirits) and Kolchak even does some actual investigating and legwork (the water sample bit is very much in tune with the show).
The previously mentioned Dawidziak novella, "Cancellation" is a fun read as well (it may, in truth, go on a little *too* long) as a TV producer, currently riding high with a show that might as well be THE X-FILES, wants to make a new television show about Carl's experiences (imagine that!). But something is haunting the studio backlot, killing people on the set. Is it the disgruntled spirit of a Lon Chaney-esque silent film star or something even more powerful? The menace itself is very reminiscent of the show (the basic concept reminds me of the vaguely-planned-but-never-written "bottle episode" for the second season of THE NIGHT STALKER that never came to pass) and Dawidziak knows his Kolchak, using the extra length as an opportunity to bring back second banana Monique Marmelstein (her braying character "voice" is a bit much, if authentic) and avaricious morgue attendant Gordie The Ghoul from the TV show, while also re-introducing labor reporter Janie Carlson and aging folklore professor Kirsten Helms (who must be about 120 now) from the Jeff Rice novels.
Equally as much fun, if slightly breezier, was Tom DeFalco's "The Day of Her Return", which somewhat combines the classic (or as "classic" as NIGHT STALKER could ever hope to be) episodes "Legacy of Terror" and "Chopper" into the story of a headless Incan mummy decapitating victims as it searches for its lost skull. Defalco does a great job of capturing a literary version of the show (for example, he gives us the classic "narration" of a victims last minutes, but since this is first person, no actual description of what happens). He may also come a tad close to lifting some actual lines from the show, but he knows the voices of the characters well and the whole thing ends with a slam-bang climax in a supermarket. Great stuff.
And best line in the book is in "They Came From The Dark Ride":
(aspiring journalist to Carl)
"Andy knows I want to be a reporter. Like you"
This took me by surprise. "Sallie, my dear, nobody wants to be a reporter like me."
I can actually hear Darren McGavin's voice saying that line!
So, there you go, more of the same. The ending of this is the same as the ending of the CHRONICLES review. If you don't know Kolchak, you can skip it. If you're vaguely interested, Inter-Library loan is your friend. And if you're a Kolchak fanatic, like me, well, you know you own it already.

There were some pretty solid Kolchak stories in this book. There were also a few stinkers, and some of them were guilty of the crime of using 3rd person POV! Have these authors even seen The Night Stalker? I liked the final story in the anthology because it makes a lot of cool references between The Fear Files and The X-Files with characters with names like Morgan, and clear DD vs. MM and GA names for the stars, and I thoroughly enjoyed the reference to Stuart Townsend, who was the cut-rate Kolchak when they tried to bring the series back. There was one story, however, that baffled me. It suggested that Kolchak was military intelligence during WWII in Germany. There is no reference to this in any other Kolchak adventure, and it doesn't even sound like anything he would do. It makes no sense whatsoever. Yes, Kolchak was in WWII, but he wasn't near the fighting or the intelligence. It was where the journalism bug first bit him.
I'm not going to give Moonstone anymore grief over typos here. They're guilty of it yet again here, but I'm tired of complaining about it. Besides, they have a new screw up going here. Spacing. Whoever spaced this out should be dragged out into the street and shot. We get giant spaces, and then we get letters that run together. It's an absolute crime to show Kolchak off like this.
Some of the stories were very good. So this book has that going for it.

It's going to be hard for me not to give a Kolchak anthology five stars. I like the character so much that unless the stories are just absolutely terrible I'll still enjoy it. Even if SOME of the stories are absolutely terrible I'll enjoy it, but thankfully there was nothing bad in this volume.
It's amazing that such a short lived tv series spawned such a great and long lasting following. Kolchak is truly an amazing character. In this one we see him dealing with the usual unearthly threats as well as some more introspective stories. My personal favorites involved giant fish, ghostly pirates, and voodoo blues. There's also some interesting, if thinly veiled, cameos including Betty Page, Dashiell Hammett, Prometheus (yes, the myth guy), the cast of the X-Files and more. Each story also includes an illustration, which is a nice touch.
Overall, this is a must for fans of Kolchak, and even horror fans that haven't tried Kolchak before may enjoy this one. It's really more for the hardcore fans though, because there are many nuances to the stories that only those steeped in Night Stalker lore will understand. Loved it!

To begin with, the title of the book is misspelled. We loved watching Darren McGavin as Kolchak, the Night STALKER. The first few stories in this book read as though the author(s) had a firm grasp of who Kolchak was and what he did for a living.
The next few stories read as much weaker versions and Twilight Zone episodes.
After that it was as if the authors were told, “Keep your story to 20 pages, name the guy Kolchak and make sure there is a monster.” Very week.
And then the editing was terrible. One book slopped into the next. The grammar and spelling and word spacing was just unacceptable, extremely distracting.
I wouldn’t have given such a harsh review, but for the fact that we BOUGHT this book. If I’m going to pay real money for a product, I expect it to be far superior to the new authors who are trying to get an audience and give their first books in a series away. We have so many generous authors giving us books for free and we have Kindle Unlimited.
We will not buy another of ANY of the Kolchak books again.

A fitting series of short stories to continue the adventures of Carl Kolchak
As a huge Kolchak fan, I was very pleased with the quality of these stories. A group of talented authors offer a cornucopia of offerings, from short and sweet to long and complex. I think anyone who loved the 1970s Night Stalker movies and series will find much to love here. A special shout-out to Mark Dawidziak, author of the Kolchak novel Grave Secrets, and contributor to the Night Stalker companion. He continues using characters he put in Grave Secrets and The Night Stalker Companion: A 25th Anniversary Tribute. Christopher Golden, Joe Gentile and Rachel Caine are among the other fine authors here. It also features a heartfelt tribute to Darren McGavin.

The indomitable and incorrigible Carl Kolchak, genre television's first paranormal investigator, returns in seventeen stories of the weird and the bizarre.
When it was first printed, some seven or eight years ago, the anthology Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook served two purposes. The first, and most important, of the two purposes was to be an affectionate memorial to the late Darren McGavin, the journeyman actor that created Kolchak's lovably scruffy and comically unvarnished persona. The introduction by Mark Dawidziak, the series official historian, is sure to put a lump in the throat of any emotionally sensitive fan of the actor and the character he made famous. (I don't think you can be a fan of Kolchak: The Night Stalker and not be a fan of actor Darren McGavin.)
The second, and far more ironic, purpose of the anthology seems to have been for it to serve as a kind of commentary (or investigative autopsy) of the hows and whys the maligned 2005 "reimagining" of the series was such a disaster, with both critics and fans. There is no other way to read Mark Dawidziak's short story Cancellation, than as a meta-fiction satire and hardcore Kolchak fan's contemptuous smackdown of the failed attempt to turn The Night Stalker into yet another X-Files style anthology series. While it is a cute enough story, and a fitting close for the anthology, it is neither the best nor the worst of the book's seventeen stories.
My picks for the best in show are Blues, Sex, and Bad, Hot Mojo, by Gary Philips, Brief Encounter, by Pierce Askegren, and Dave Ulanski's AND. I found these three stories to be the most satisfying of the collection.
As for the unfortunate yarns I found to be the collection's least satisfying ones, that ignoble honor has to go to Richard Dean Starr's Bones of the Past and Gary Philips's Broken Willow. Neither tale gets the story beats or character moments of a Kolchak yarn quite right.
The remaining six stories pretty much fall between those highs and lows. Some (P.N. Elrod's Power Hungy and John Everson's The Strange Events at Vishnu Springs) are respectably close to the winner's circle, while unfortunate, and under performing, others (such as John Ostrander's Alternate Endings and Joe Gentile's Until Tomorrow) fall below the median for success.
Despite their widely varying degrees of quality, there is no denying that each and every tale contains a valiant and very well intentioned attempt to recapture (or bring back to life) the scruffy, unvarnished, incorrigible, indomitable, and unstoppable investigative force that was Carl Kolchak. That simple fact alone makes it a worthwhile read for any Night Stalker fan.

Carl Kolchak fans wanted more of the intrepid reporter and investigator of the paranormal. He is back in a second collection of stories penned by different authors. In truth, there is some uneven efforts here. This was not as good as the first collection but it is an excellent reading for Kolchak fans. My favorite stories were: The Day of Her Return, Digger, And, Brief Encounter and Cancellation.

Anthologies are usually a mixed bag, but this one had more clunkers than usual, and a few stories so badly written I couldn't believe that they made the cut. A couple started off well, but quickly went sour. However, Strange Events at Vishnu Springs was excellent, and The Day of Her Return, Digger, and Call Me Sam were very, very good. The rest...oh, dear.

Strong for the most part
Most of these tales were classic Kolchak, enough wit and terror to make the late, great Darren McGavin proud. There were one or two that didn't quite work, for me anyway, but overall a very good collection.

Kolchak Colletion
Good collection for people who love stories of Kolchak on the prowl to keep you safe ... All these would have made great episodes for the TV show ...
