Kolchak: the Day Sleeper
Hack’s alcohol addled brain stopped storing cultural references in the late-1970s, which explains this novelization of the 1974 cult TV series Kolchak: The Night Stalker starring Darren McGavin which Hack claims came to him in a dream when he drank himself unconscious in a bar that was showing MSNBC’s coverage of the Trump trial on TV.
The Vanilla Pug
The Perilous Apparel
Hack lives in Los Angeles and he couldn’t help but notice that the detective stories that he loves from the 1940s set in the City of Angels always have the hero dressed in heavy layers when the temperature in inevitably between 90-110°.
The Tell-Tale Tramp Stamp
The Case of the Accused Scoundrel
Sham Wedding
Happy heavenly birthday to the legendary Mary Pickford!!!
Tupug
Hack wrote this because he had a deadline coming up and he heard his cover artist Jonny M. joke to his pug Boris that the little dog’s favorite rapper was “Tupug.” Half an hour later, Hack had this ready for publication.
It’s not his best work.
