MOONSTONE BOOKS FOR SEPTEMBER

KOLCHAK TALES: GHOST STORIES

Written by Tom DeFalco, CJ Henderson and Dave Ulanski, art by Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema, Ron Harris, Keith Williams and Dan Dougherty, covers by Dave Aikens and Dave Ulanski.

Another special issue featuring three chilling tales, including one by the current Spider-Girl creative team. After being fired from the Hollywood Dispatch, Kolchak must find a new way to pay the bills. In "Fifteen Minutes," our hero joins a team of ghost chasers, where he encounters a house with a very unhappy extra resident. Then, still a reporter at heart, he looks into a "Family Business" to learn why something from beyond the grave is killing truck drivers. And finally, Carl's new buddies try to give him "A Clue to the Truth" about why he's cut out for this work, by sending him on an eerie yet spiritual journey. Nothing says Halloween like ghosts and Kolchak the Night Stalker

THE NIGHT DRIVER

Written by John Cork, adapted by Christoper Mills, art by Christoper LaGasse, cover by Attila Adorjany.

A freaky read from the producer of the film Menace II Society. The first full co-venture between Moonstone and film publisher Cinemagraphix. An ordinary traveling salesman on an uneventful trip through the Midwest, until, that is, he picks up a seriously ill hitch hiker. That's when the pounding headaches start... and bizarre hallucination... and the creeping paranoia... missing time... and all those mutilated bodies....

A dedicated family man, all Hurdis Jones wants to do is make it home to his worried wife and kids. But his journey becomes impossibly long and fraught with horror.
