Publisher's summary

Original cast members from the beloved TV series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, reunite for an all-new adventure about connections that never die—even if you bury them.

A decade has passed since the epic final battle that concluded Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV). The game-changing spell that gave power to all potential Slayers persists. With new Slayers constantly emerging, things are looking grim for the bad guys. Rebellious vampire Spike (James Marsters) is working undercover in Los Angeles with his old pal Clem (James Charles Leary) when he meets feisty, rookie Slayer, Indira (Laya DeLeon Hayes), who wants Spike to be her mentor. Stakes intensify as Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) emerges from an alternate reality where she alone is the Slayer, and Buffy Summers doesn’t exist. Cordelia enlists Spike’s help with a classic big bad terrorizing her world…his ex, Drusilla (Juliet Landau). Giles (Anthony Head), Anya (Emma Caulfield Ford), Jonathan (Danny Strong), and Tara (Amber Benson) also return, but through the years and the vastness of the multiverse, not everyone is who they used to be…

Slayers: A Buffyverse Story is written and directed by Amber Benson and Chris Golden, and co-directed by Kc Wayland.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Absolutely Loved It

We waited SO long for this and it was amazing. I had a curve ball at the end!

EVERYONE was fantastic but Juliet Landau knocked it out of the park, it was like she never left the role.

CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE!

Love It

I am only two hours in and I am loving it. I can picture the actors playing their roles and its bring me back to watching the series, but Buffy and Angel, as if watching a new episode.

Don't listen to the haters

You cannot get this and expect it to be a Buffy TV episode... because it's not.

Nor is it like reading a new Buffy novel...

It is like a mini audio series of episodes of new and familiar actors playing out a mini season with a new storyline based steeped in the Buffy universe.

I personally loved it! For what it is, they did a great job with this. I was wondering how they were going to convey things in this format and I think they did really really well with the way that they did it ❤️

It took a little bit of getting used to the format of it, and to see where they were going with everything... But I'm so happy that I listened to the whole thing and I absolutely loved it!

If you're a Buffy / Angel fan I would highly recommend this and just suggest to keep an open mind. ❤️

It also does not detract from, or change how things went down in the actual show which I greatly appreciate.

Great job 👏❤️
