Buffy The Vampire Slayer

New Slayer books - Two more unauthorised guides out soon

Tuesday 13 July 2004, by Webmaster

Rainforests are twitching nervously at the news that Keith Topping’s next edition of his unofficial episode guide Slayer will cover all seven seasons of the show in one mighty tome.

Packed with trivia, comments, synopses and quotes, it’s just like having the BBC Buffy site in a book.

After seven years of vampires, violence, passion, angst and humour, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has hung up her stakes. This unofficial guide to all seven series definitively explores the features of every episode that helped make Buffy a cult phenomenon. It analyses the show’s themes, unearths pop culture references, serves up the best lines of dialogue, provides soundtrack information, exposes continuity errors, reveals the subtext and serious issues bubbling beneath the show’s surface, and demonstrates the Buffy spectacle that has spread across the Internet - all in a style that captures the unique humour.

Whether you’re a seasoned Slayerette or a novice, this bumper guide to the complete seven series is your indispensible companion to Buffy’s universe.


If you prefer your trivia presented thematically rather than chonologically, however, you may prefer Slayer: A Totally Awesome Collection of Buffy Trivia.

Doing just what it says on the tin, this pocket book collects together the most fabulous factoids from the Slayer series and presents them in categories such as "God, Xander, is that all you think about?", "Songs to Sing and Learn", and "Thick as Thieves".

Have you ever argued about which are the best episodes of Buffy? Or even the worst? Which of Willow’s spells were the most disastrous? What were the best lines from a whole season? This Slayer collection gives you extensive and totally awesome bits of information from the Buffy universe, such as:

Britishisms

Great musical moments

Guest appearances

Cliffhangers

Returns from the dead

Dream sequences

Inspirations for the show

For ultimate fans of the ultimate show, or for those keen to increase their knowledge, this is the indispensible collection of everything you ever wanted to know about the weird and wonderful world of Sunnydale and its unusual inhabitants.
