Richard Matheson's Kolchak Scripts, edited by Mark Dawidziak, collects the veteran horror writer's scripts for the 1970s cult TV show, Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Dawidziak provides an introduction, stills from the show, the script of a never-produced film, The Night Killers, which Matheson co-wrote with William F. Nolan, and much more of interest to the aficionados of the program that Chris Carter has acknowledged was the model for The X-Files.
