3.0
A quick read, this novelization of a movie was adapted by Jeff Rice (the author of the original Kolchak story) from a screenplay by Richard Matheson. Surprisingly, I haven't seen the film in question. I especially enjoyed the role Seattle history and geography played in this story.
While Carl Kolchak saw a lot of things other people didn't, it was nice for the police to see something he didn't here. There is considerably less infodump in this book than in the first one. I liked the strong character of Louise Harper.
Near as I can tell, Jeff Rice didn't write anything more in this genre. Other novels, comics and collections of stories are available from Moonstone Press, who published the two combined Jeff Rice books as [b:The Kolchak Papers: The Original Novels|996660|The Kolchak Papers The Original Novels|Jeff Rice|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348509902l/996660._SY75_.jpg|982153].
