Then in "Lambs to the Slaughter," Kolchak has to find a series of missing teenagers in the cesspool of downtown Hollywood. What does a wealthy industrialist and his genetic manipulation dreams of having a son have to do with it? And is there a mythical monster lying in wait for these kids, as well as for Kolchak?

by C.J. Henderson & Jaime Calderon
Carl Kolchak has seen it all, from vampires and zombies to witches, ghosts, and even the minions of Hell, itself. By rights, nothing should shake this indominable reporter anymore. But, when he follows the trail begun by the photographing of a strange sea creature — one more reminiscent of the creature from the black lagoon than a shark or tuna — he finds himself drawn into a nightmare world so fantastic, so utterly alien and frighteningly dark that even his massive psychic defenses begin to crumble! The first meeting between Carl Kolchak and the evil horror that is the Cthulhu Mythos, H.P. Lovecraft's enduring world of gods and monsters, is back in print!
