Summary
After convincing a serial killer to confess, newspaper reporter Kolchak is offered an international assignment with massive coverage around the world. With fame and fortune finally within reach, he's ready to cover the story - until he's confronted by a mysterious monk who warns him that "the 72 must always be".
What this means is not explained. But before he knows it, Kolchak's dreams are invaded by inexplicable images warning him that every step he takes toward the big story is bringing him closer to death.

kolchak
Series successfully updated to the 21st century, with easy references to the internet and same-sex couples. Despite now being firmly set in the modern world, I was able to accept a Lost World, the legend of the 72 and the trappings. Brilliantly narrated throughout. 8/10
Scoring: 0 bad; 1-3 poor; 4-6 average; 7-9 good; 10 excellent.

Holy padding, Batman!
I quite enjoy the Kolchak stories however the build up to the supernatural action was unnecessarily long and forgettable, like a short story padded out to be a novella. The supernatural element itself was an interesting one which I’d like to have seen explored further, rather than the ‘interview with a humane drugs baron’ angle that Henderson went with instead.
Another thing that felt jarring was that this story was set in the 21st century which Kolchak every so often reminded us of and also that he was ‘woke’ now (well trying to be, and failing). I feel like there’s a charm to Kolchak’s 1970s setting, especially as he hasn’t aged in this story, he metaphorically got dropped into the 21st century by time machine, a transplant that didn’t need to happen.

Well performed light story
Johnny Heller gave a clear performance with good pace.
The story is absolutely fine. Not great but not bad. An easy to follow narrative which kept flowing.
