CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a bit of an oddity - a revival of 40s old time radio style suspense stories, that aired nightly for 1,399 episodes between 1974 to 1982. There were a handful of novelizations and expansions into novels. All were published by Popular Library, who advertised on the show.
Three episodes were novelized in 1976's Strange Tales From CBS Radio Mystery Theater, edited by Himan Brown. They include:
The Black Room by Elspeth Eric
The Only Blood by Sam Dann
Time And Again (or The Vampire Clock) by Ian Martin
Sam Dann expanded two of his radio plays to novel length:
1979 The Third Body (based on Children of Death)
1985 Goodbye Carl Erich
Ian Martin reportedly recycled three radio scripts (one already recycled from the Canadian soap opera Strange Paradise) into gothic romances under his wife's name Joen Arliss. There were two others in the Zebra Mystery Puzzler series that I don't believe are related.
1979 Nightmare's Nest
1980 Beloved Victim
1980 Shadow Over Seventh Heaven
