This book is a truly wonderful analysis of the cultural impact that BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER had on the world. The book features interviews from cast and fans, stories of drama, experiences, and explores different aspects of the show over the years. It really dives deep into the heart of Buffy.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is my favorite show of all time. It had a huge impact on my life. I started watching it in 6th grade and got to watch it live, with new episodes airing. The show brought my sister and I together. We never really had a relationship until we started watching Buffy together. The show also made me explore and find my own sexuality. Proud Pan, here! I am really grateful for the show and all that it gave me. Buffy was a game changer in the tv industry. This show created the major Buffyverse and a huge fanbase. The trajectory of Buffy The Vampire Slayer was due to having such a strong, female lead and because it pushed the boundaries about gender, sexuality, and even race. The show was rare for its time. It even covered difficult subjects, such as death and rape. So, reading this book really brought back a lot of wonderful memories. I had a roller coaster of emotions while reading it. I laughed, I cried, I reminisced. I even learned a few new things! I’ve also started listening to Buffering The Vampire Slayer podcast, which I love! This book is seriously perfect for anyone who loves Buffy. This book was made for people like me.
Thank you @hachettego and @HachetteBooks for my advanced copy.
