This black-and-white anthology is a hoot—for Kolchak the Night-Stalker fans and horror fans in general. For those not in the know, Carl Kolchak is an intrepid reporter for the International News Service; he pursues the stories that other newshounds ignore—the stuff of our darkest nightmares. The three stories in this one-shot are framed by a tale that sees Kolchak talking to his boss’s psychiatrist; it seems that his nocturnal pursuits of monsters, witches, and their ilk are pushing his editor closer and closer to the edge of sanity. So, Kolchak recounts three run-ins with the paranormal in an effort to convince the doctor that he’s telling the truth and not trying to cause his stressed-out boss even further stress. Moonstone has enjoyed success with Kolchak over the last several years, and this anthology is indicative of the excellent quality of the franchise.
