Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Monster Book
Fans ofBuffy the Vampire Slayerwatch the show for a number of reasons, one of which is certainly the various creatures that show up every week. Golden, the author of many otherBuffybooks, and his coauthors have compiled a guide to the monsters that have appeared on the show, from menacing demons, hellhounds, and the most prominent of the show's many vampires to friendly regulars who happen to be supernatural, such as the tortured vampire Angel (who now has his own show) and werewolf Oz. What makes the book unique is that it includes, in addition to interviews with the creator of the show and many of the writers, the history of demons, vampires, ghosts, and others in folklore, literature, television, movies, and pop culture. Fans will enjoy the details and behind-the-scenes info, while those looking to get into the series will find this a handy guide.Kristine HuntleyCopyright © American Library Association.
