William F. Nolan is one of the living treasures of horror, SF, fantasy, mystery, hell you name it. The man has written dozens of novels, numerous screen and teleplays, volumes of poetry, nonfiction books on auto racing, biographies, short story collections, anthologies. The man has led an extraordinary life.
Of course, William F. Nolan is best-known as the co-author of Logan's Run. This SF classic was an international bestseller, it was made into a successful film, has spawned two sequels, was adapted to comic form, and is poised for a big-budget remake.
There aren't many writers like Nolan left. We have Bradbury, Ellison, Matheson, Frederik Pohl, and precious few others. These man are the grandmasters. The ones that paved the way for all the literature of the fantastic that has come since they began their craft.
Kincaid: A Paranormal Casebook is a collection of three novellas that feature a paranormal investigator named David Kincaid. Nolan originally wrote the character as David Norliss as a teleplay for Dan Curtis. The resulting movie was called The Norliss Tapes, and a weekly series was supposed to follow it. Much like The Night Stalker. But a writer's strike killed the project just as surely as a wooden stake in the heart stops a vampire.
Fourteen years later, Nolan exhumed the David Norliss character, and renamed him David Kincaid.
