in december 2012, old time radio distributor radio archives published "nightbeat: night stories", an ebook anthology of six new "nightbeat" stories. authors included were howard hopkins, paul bishop, will murray, tommy hancock (who also served as editor), mark squirek, and bobby nash. each story used the traditional radio opening and closing, as well as stone's first-person narration. several characters from the radio series appear, and hancock's entry – "lucky" – attempts to explain who "lucky" stone from the original pilot really is.
