Four animated escapades for the Real Ghostbusters. In 'Adventures
in Slime and Space' Egon's 'ghost net' creates havoc when it slices
Slimer into a multitude of smaller facsimiles. 'Ghostbusted' sees
the team try their hand at crimebusting after wiping out all of the
ghosts in the city, but their new profession soon leads them into
danger. 'Knock-Knock' finds New York's subway over-run by ghosts,
goblins and ghouls. 'Venkman's Ghost Repellers' has a host of sea
ghosts form themselves into the ship-gobbling New Jersey
Parallelogram.
The second installment in the acclaimed Star Wolf trilogy, this
tale pits the captain of the limping Star Wolf space vessel against
an "imp," a parasitic biocomputer that is creating havoc and
pirating vital information from its position inside the ship. As
the imp gathers information to aid the impending attack of the
enemy Morthan fleet, Captain Korie struggles with both the internal
problems caused by the imp, and the threat of an oncoming Morthan
attack. Classics of military science fiction, the Star Wolf trilogy
combines fast-paced action with powerful studies of the military
character.
Thirteen authors, including Gail Z. Martin, David Gerrold, and
Jonathan Maberry, come together to pen short stories innovating
Sherlock Holmes, adapting and revolutionizing the iconic character.
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic and lasting figures in
literature. His feats of detection are legendary, and he continues
to capture audiences today in stories, movies, and on TV. In this
new anthology, Baker Street Irregulars, authors present the
celebrated detective in more than a dozen wildly entertaining new
ways. In Ryk Spoor's thrilling "The Adventures of a Reluctant
Detective," Sherlock is a re-creation in a holodeck. In Hildy
Silverman's mesmerizing "A Scandal in the Bloodline," Sherlock is a
vampire. Heidi McLaughlin sends Sherlock back to college, while
Beth Patterson, in the charming "Code Cracker," turns him into a
parrot. The settings range from Russia in the near-future to a
reality show, from a dystopian world to an orchestra. Without
losing the very qualities that make Sherlock so illustrious a
character, these authors spin new webs of mystery around their own
singular riff on one of fiction's truly singular characters.

When David Gerrold decided he wanted to adopt a son, he thought he
had prepared himself for fatherhood. But eight-year-old Dennis
turned out to be more than he expected--a lot more. Dennis suffered
from fetal alcohol syndrome, the son of a substance abuser and
alcoholic who abandoned him in a seedy motel at the age of
one-and-a-half. His father died of an overdose. Seized by the
state, Dennis was shuffled between eight different foster homes in
less than eight years. He was abused and beaten severely in at
least tow of his placements. Dennis was diagnosed with
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and put on Ritalin and
then Disipramine. He was prone to violent emotional outbursts. His
case history identified him as "hard to place" --a euphemism for
"unadoptable." But for David Gerrold it was love at first sight...
