description: A collection of original short stories based on the hit TV series created by Joss Whedon.Into every generation a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world to find the vampires where they gather and to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. In our time that girl is Buffy Summers. But Buffy is merely one Slayer in an eternal continuum of warriors for the Powers That Be.We've known of others; The Primal Slayer who stalked the earth and the forces of darkness in fierce solitude... Nikki the funky hipster whose demise at Spike's hands lent an urban edge to his wardrobe and a bigger bounce to his swagger. Slayers by nature have a limited life expectancy; for each one who falls another rises to take her place.Tales of the Slayer Vol. 1 chronicles Slayers past who have influenced -- and are influenced by -- the traditions and mythologies of yore. From ancient Greece to aristocratic Slayers holding court in revolution-era France to the legend of the Bloody Countess Elizabeth Bathory to 1920's Munich each girl has a personal history a shared moral code and a commitment to conquer evil regardless of the cost...Contents:A Good Run Greece 490 B.C.E. / Greg RuckaThe White Doe London 1586 / Christie GoldenDie Blutgrafin [The Blood Countess] Hungary 1609 / Yvonne NavarroUnholy Madness France 1789 / Nancy HolderMornglom Dreaming Kentucky 1886 / Doranna Durgin&gt;Silent Screams Germany 1923 / Mel OdomAnd White Splits the Night Florida 1956 / Yvonne Navarro
