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.
Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at
thirty, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up
old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an
ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road
trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened
souls who have decided that this will be their final journey-upon
arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing
view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this
world. The unlikely companions include a young woman with a chronic
pain sensory disorder and another who was relentlessly bullied at
school for her size; a bipolar, party-loving neo-hippie; a gentle
coder with a literal hole in his heart and blue skin; and a poet
dreaming of a better world beyond this one. We get to know them
through access to their texts, emails, voicemails, and the daily
journal entries they write as the price of admission for this trip.
By turns tragic, funny, quirky, charming, and deeply moving,
Together We Will Go explores the decisions that brings these
characters together, and the relationships that grow between them,
with some discovering love and affection for the first time. But as
they cross state lines and complications to the initial plan arise,
it becomes clear that this is a novel as much about the will to
live as the choice to end it. The final, unforgettable moments as
they hurtle toward the decisions awaiting them will be remembered
for a lifetime.

In the words of novelist Harlan Ellison, "The trick is not becoming
a writer. The trick is staying a writer. New York Times bestselling
author and British Academy Award nominee J. Michael Straczynski
knew he wanted to be a writer ever since he was a child. What he
didn't know was how to actually become, or stay, a writer. Now,
he's giving fellow writers the comprehensive guide he wishes he had
all along, personalized tips and techniques that can't be found in
any other book on writing. Becoming a Writer, Staying a Writer
culls from Straczynski's more than thirty years of experience
writing for film, television, books, and comics. Designed for
writers in any stage of their career, this quirky, insightful and
often humorous book provides an inside look at these industries
with advice and wisdom covering such topics such as: What fledgling
writers need to know to improve and sell their work-and avoid
wasting valuable time Tips for experienced writers who want to get
to the next level Staying disciplined when writing is your day job
Why writers should never wait for inspiration Story-planning
strategies that don't kill your spontaneity Expert techniques for
effective, memorable world-building How to get an agent and survive
the writer's journey in more personal relationships Revising and
editing with precision When and how to reinvent yourself as an
artist
A Hugo Award Nominee! Featuring an introduction by Neil Gaiman! "J.
Michael Straczynski is, without question, one of the greatest
science fiction minds of our time." -- Max Brooks (World War Z) For
four decades, J. Michael Straczynski has been one of the most
successful writers in Hollywood, one of the few to forge multiple
careers in movies, television and comics. Yet there's one story
he's never told before: his own. In this dazzling memoir, the
acclaimed writer behind Babylon 5, Sense8, Clint Eastwood's
Changeling and Marvel's Thor reveals how the power of creativity
and imagination enabled him to overcome the horrors of his youth
and a dysfunctional family haunted by madness, murder and a
terrible secret. Joe's early life nearly defies belief. Raised by
damaged adults-a con-man grandfather and a manipulative
grandmother, a violent, drunken father and a mother who was
repeatedly institutionalized-Joe grew up in abject poverty, living
in slums and projects when not on the road, crisscrossing the
country in his father's desperate attempts to escape the
consequences of his past. To survive his abusive environment Joe
found refuge in his beloved comics and his dreams, immersing
himself in imaginary worlds populated by superheroes whose amazing
powers allowed them to overcome any adversity. The deeper he read,
the more he came to realize that he, too, had a superpower: the
ability to tell stories and make everything come out the way he
wanted it. But even as he found success, he could not escape a dark
and shocking secret that hung over his family's past, a violent
truth that he uncovered over the course of decades involving mass
murder. Straczynski's personal history has always been shrouded in
mystery. Becoming Superman lays bare the facts of his life: a story
of creation and darkness, hope and success, a larger-than-life
villain and a little boy who became the hero of his own life. It is
also a compelling behind-the-scenes look at some of the most
successful TV series and movies recognized around the world.
