Most of the time I get a chance to read a book with ties to a movie, it’s because I’m reading the actual book that the film is being adapted from. Which is why Ghosts from Our Past is such a welcome addition to my library. Ghosts from Our Past is what one would call an in-universe book as it is the published edition of the book that appears in the newest Ghostbusters. “Written” by Erin Gilbert and Abby Yates, with Andrew Shaffer, the book explores many of the ideas presented in the movie. It was cool to get more of a backstory about Erin’s encounter with the ghost that haunted her and detail about the types of ghosts that the movie couldn’t go into. But not just the movie, the book stands pretty well on its own as a piece of comedy and actual science and paranormal exploration.
Disclosure: I received this book from Bloggingforbooks.com in exchange for this review.
