Ghostbusters

The Original Movie Novelizations Omnibus

By: Richard Mueller, Ed Naha

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

For the first time in a beautiful new edition, this omnibus will collect together the original official novelizations of both Ghostbusters 1 and 2.

Relive the classic Ghostbusters stories with the original movie novelizations republished for the first time since 1980s.

When Dr. Peter Venkman and his Columbia University colleagues are kicked out of their prestigious academic posts, they start a private practice as professional ghost-catchers. Although things do not start auspiciously for the three parascientists, their television advertisements finally pay off when beautiful Dana Barrett contracts them. It seems her apartment has become the entryway for ghastly ghosts and goofy ghouls hellbent on terrorizing New York City. Soon, they’re not just going to her rescue, but trying to rid the whole city of the slimy creatures.

After waging a war on slime that cost New York City millions, the Ghostbusters find themselves out of business until an ancient tyrant, preparing a return to the Earthly domain through his portrait at the Manhattan Museum of Modern Art, sets his sights on Dana Barrett’s baby as the new home for his wicked soul!

I personally loved it.

A lot of reviewers didn’t like the reader. Personally I thought he did great. He doesn’t have the same amount of sarcasm some of the lines had in the movie. That doesn’t bother me, because it’s still funny. My favorite part is it gives you more back story on the guys. There is more ghost encounters, and some we know from the movies are different in appearance. If you love the ghostbusters give it a chance.

I Ain't Afraid of No Books!

I had no clue that there were books from the Ghostbusters movies. Having both 1 & 2 in one audio book is a real steal. If anyone I know ask me for suggestions on what to listen to, I'd point them to the Ghostbusters.

Great performance

I really enjoyed it. I could see the movie playing in my head while listening.

performer is better than the writing

some of the scene descriptions are bad and character descriptions are worse. The performer is good, uses different voices and things. it almost feels like watching the films, save for the poor scene descriptions.

When there's something strange who are you going t

It gave great insight to the Ghostbusters backstories, but the Narrator spoke a little to fast.
