Not sure if you are still doing this, but a small subsection of the Buffy tie-in Novels were actually adaptations of episodes. For eg. https://pagebound.co/books/08e610ae-c604-4f86-a9f2-1a9725a50f8e
The og Buffy movie also got a straight forward novelisation: https://pagebound.co/books/6e7ba8f6-9c19-4d34-811b-983086e80d7c
There’s also the old James Blish Star Trek TOS novelisations: https://pagebound.co/books/3a61adb4-4553-4e75-bdff-f0b85e12b5c5. There were 12 volumes in total.
Thank you! I have the Buffy novels in my other list but completely forgot to add the novelisation’s onto this list!
