Library Additions: Two Kickstarter Hardbacks

Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025

The Cyanide and Happiness book was a 2023 Kickstarter, while the Kolchak book was an add-on to the 2024 Kolchak Meets the Classic Monsters Kickstarter, the primary reward of which hasn’t been sent out yet.

  • Rice, Jeff. Kolchak: The Night Stalker: The Original Novel. Monstrous Books, 2024. First hardback edition (no additional printings stated), a Fine copy in decorated boards, sans dust jacket, as issued, with postcard and press pass laid in. Supplements my copy of the paperback original, which precedes by over half a century. The extra button is in a photo below. Bought off Kickstarter for $39.

  • Library Addition: PBO First of The Night Strangler

    Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021

    This is one of those things I just didn’t think of picking up earlier:

    Rice, Jeff (Richard Matheson). The Night Strangler. First edition paperback original, a Fine- copy with slight glue wrinkling near top of spine and slight spine fading, otherwise new and unread, signed by Richard Matheson. Novel by Jeff Rice based on Matheson’s screenplay for The Night Strangler, the sequel to The Night Stalker and the second TV movie starring Darren McGavin as reporter Carl Kolchak. Bought off eBay for $42. Copies that are both nice and signed by Matheson are uncommon.
