Echo On Publications has published official novelizations of Maniac Cop, Maniac Cop 2, and Maniac Cop 3.
They’re written by Echo On editor-in-chief Christian Francis, who has authored novelizations of Wishmaster, Session 9, and the forthcoming In the Mouth of Madness.
All three novelizations are available individually in trade paperback and e-book or collected together in a hardcover edition.
In Maniac Cop, “In the heart of New York City, innocent people are being slaughtered in cold blood-by someone wearing a police uniform. As fear grips the streets, rookie officer Jack Forrest becomes the prime suspect after the brutal murder of his own wife. But Jack isn’t the killer… and the real threat is far more terrifying.
“Lieutenant Frank McCrae’s investigation uncovers a horrifying truth: a relentless, inhuman force is stalking the city-a man once sworn to serve and protect, now back from the grave and out for blood. As the body count rises and the department closes ranks, McCrae and Forrest must race to uncover the secret behind the badge before the city is drowned in its own blood.”
In Maniac Cop 2, “Officer Matt Cordell was once a hero, but after being framed by corrupt superiors and brutally assaulted in prison, he sets out on a macabre mission of vengeance, teaming up with a vicious serial killer to track down those who wronged him and make them pay… with their lives!”
In Maniac Cop 3, “In the heart of the decaying Lower East Side, Officer Teresa Mallory lies in a coma, her body shattered. She should be dead… but something won’t let her go. Meanwhile, Detective Lieutenant Stan Moonjean doesn’t believe in ghosts, until the bodies start piling up again. The signs all point to the Maniac Cop, back from the dead once more!”
Released between 1988 and 1993, the Maniac Cop trilogy is directed by William Lustig (Maniac) and written by Larry Cohen (The Stuff), with Robert Z’Dar in the title role.
