Hack penned this while alternately bingeing episodes of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett, Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone while playing the storm sequence from Back to the Future on YouTube on a loop in the background, all while guzzling Jack Daniels. He doesn’t remember writing a word of it but he woke up in a pool of his own tears and vomit with the manuscript in a neat pile next to his typewriter.
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.
