Books in Buffy The Vampire Slayer series

Nemesis Ethan Rayne returns to Sunnydale and unleashes a long-trapped sorcerer from medieval Bavaria. And if working out Ethan's true motivation while dealing with a none-too-friendly spellcaster on the loose were not enough to keep Buffy from her chemistry homework, she also finds hereself encountering a seemingly random parade of old adverseries out to settle the score.

Willow can feel something strange happening, but seems as if no-one else has even noticed. They have problems of their own to deal with. Personal issues...relationship issues...the usual, everyday hassles that life is all about. But Willow's fears are on a whole new level. She is still not happy with using her powers again, not after what happened when she lost control. People died. The power within her is massive, and if something should turn it to darkness, nobody is safe. Who knows what she might do? But her instincts are right. A wolf in sheep's clothing has set off a series of freakish events: rivers of blood, flash storms, and the arrival of an unbelievable supernatural being. The apocalypse is here. Again. And while the world falls to pieces around them, Buffy and her friends -- including Giles, returned from England -- must decide what is most important. There is one last hope: a secret long-lost spell. But its side effects are dangerous. Is Willow ready and willing to take the risk...?

The Slayer and her friends discover that saving the world may be one thing, but dealing with life's little everyday gremlins can be quite another! Since her mother's death, Buffy has had a hard time coping. Finding herself suddenly alone and in charge of her younger teenage sister is daunting enough, and being responsible at the same time for saving the world...Buffy is used to dealing with the big stuff, but it's the little things that threaten to get on top of her. She has a toothache; but no dental insurance. Her financial problems are a constant worry -- it's hard to earn a living when you're out every night combating the forces of evil. Nor is she the only one who is having trouble with life's little irritations. Anya and Xander are trapped in their apartment by a plague of ants, and it seems that everyone is trying to put up with some annoyance or other. Then Spike discovers pocket-sized evil wreaking havoc in Weatherly Park, mini-monsters perfectly capable of causing major trouble. In order to stop them, the Slayer's going to have to think small!

The cult-favorite television series from creator Joss Whedon continues in comics with Season 10, where Buffy and the Scoobies are rewriting the rules of magic and monsters . . .While slaying the zompires that have overrun a small California town, Buffy and her pals are shocked to discover another new kind of vampire: harder to kill, able to transform, and walk in the light of day--like Dracula . . . If that weren't enough, the rules of magic are literally being rewritten in the Vampyr book. The crew attempts to restore the status quo, all while Xander is the victim of a haunting, his relationship with Dawn begins to crumble, and Dracula himself enters the picture. Then when the Vampyr book goes missing--now a highly coveted item--Buffy and the Scoobies head for what might be a disaster in Sunnydale where Andrew is up to his good/bad/old tricks again. As everyone feels the responsibility of protecting the book and writing the new magical rules, they are tempted by what new rules can do for them . . . just like the Big Bads who have come knocking on Buffy's door!Writers Christos Gage (Angel & Faith) and Buffy star Nicholas Brendon team with artist Rebekah Isaacs (Angel & Faith) to take on the Slayer and her teammates in her tenth season; they're joined by guest artists Richard Corben (Hellboy), Karl Moline (Fray), and Cliff Richards (Dollhouse)!This oversized Library edition collects the materials from Buffy Season 10 Volume 1 and Volume 2 softcovers, along with all the comic book covers, and an expanded sketchbook section.

In SPARK AND BURN, fan-favourite Spike -- the other vampire with a soul -- takes centre stage. For centuries he was a bloodthirsty scourge of humankind, killing without bias, feeding on whomever (or whatever) came his way. That would all change when Riley Finn and the covert organisation known as the Initiative planted a microchip in his brain which rendered him incapable of harming a human being. As Spike learned to cope with this handicap -- the worst a vampire could imagine -- he found himself falling in love with the woman who had been his nemesis -- Buffy Summers, the Slayer. Their relationship is a stormy one, with years of mistrust between them. But after Spike regains his soul, undergoing terrible trials in the process, he and Buffy come to a kind of peace with one another; and Spike, finally, begins to find peace with himself.

A rash of student suicides sweeps through Sunnydale, deeply unsettling the community. But when the newly-arrived grief counsellor also ends up killing himself, Buffy and the gang suspect that something supernatural is to blame. Then one of their own begins to show signs of debilitating despondency; and soon it becomes a race against time for the Slayer to defeat an ancient entity known as The Suicide King

THE BIG BAD Since her mother's death, Buffy Summers has had a hard time keeping her chin up. Suddenly finding herself alone and in charge of Dawn is certainly daunting, and being responsible, at the same time, for saving the world...well, it's pressure. And lately the Slayer is feeling bogged down by the little things. Buffy has a toothache, but no dental insurance...as if her financial problems weren't overwhelming enough already. And Anya and Xander are being held hostage in their own home by a plague of ants. Everyone is determined not to sweat the small stuff -- until Spike discovers economy-sized evil wreaking havoc in Weatherly Park. Mini-monsters are perfectly capable of mega-trouble, and in order to stop them, the Slayer's going to have to think...small!
