First Time In Publication: Three Matheson Kolchak Screenplays
RICHARD MATHESON'S THE KOLCHAK SCRIPTS edited by Mark Dawidziak

Gauntlet Press will be publishing Richard Matheson's Kolchak telefilm screenplays -- "The Night Stalker", "The Night Strangler", and "The Night Killers" -- in a compilation entitled RICHARD MATHESON'S THE KOLCHAK SCRIPTS. This will be the first time these screenplays will have seen print. The book will be edited by acclaimed Kolchak chronicler Mark Dawidziak (THE NIGHT STALKER COMPANION), and will include interviews with Matheson, William F. Nolan, Jeff Rice, and Dan Curtis. The book will also include never-before-released Kolchak artwork and photos.

"The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler" were two "Movies of the Week" in 1972 and 1973, respectively, and led to the Kolchak television series (1974-1975). "The Night Killers" is an unproduced script written by Matheson and Nolan, whose rights are still retained by director/producer Dan Curtis.

There will be a signed Numbered edition and a signed Lettered edition of RICHARD MATHESON'S THE KOLCHAK SCRIPTS. Contractually we can publish only 552 signed limited copies of this book. Only those ordering through Gauntlet Press will receive a free chapbook, and are guaranteed a signed-by-Richard-Matheson copy of the book.

RICHARD MATHESON'S THE KOLCHAK SCRIPTS is set for publication Fall 2003 and is already selling quickly through pre-orders.
