Buffy The Vampire Slayer


Recently it was announced that the cult classic: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is coming back on TV with a new cast.
For those of you unfamiliar with Buffy here’s a short description.

Buff is a cheerleader at Sunnydale High School.  She discovers that she is the latest in a long line of vampire hunters.

She, along with her Scooby Gang proceed to battle not only vampires but other nasty ghoulies and supernatural threats.

The TV series, created by Joss Whedon (of the Avengers movie fame), has now been translated to a kid’s picture book, courtesy of writer Jason Rekulak with illustrations by Kim Smith and published by Quirk Books’ POP Classics.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer book features Buffy and her friends as elementary school kids who throw a sleepover party.  When they begin hearing creepy noises from Buffy’s closet, they ask their school librarian: Giles, for help.

He encourages them to be brave. As a result they charge the closet only to discover some very creepy and scared monsters.

It seems not all monsters are bad and they get scared of things just like Buffy and her friends.

What a fun story: great art and a clever twist ending that are perfect for young kids.
