List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels

Authors who have written original novels include Mel Odom, Christopher Golden, and Nancy Holder.

These Buffyverse tales take place before the television series begins (from 490 BCE to CE 1996).

Keep Me In Mind, The Suicide King, Colony, and Night Terrors form a series of gamebooks, titled "Stake Your Destiny".

Unlike some other gamebooks, Stake Your Destiny novels do not contain any form of game system.

However, unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising the basic story of each novel (written early in the writing process) were approved by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), thereby allowing the books to be published as "official Buffy/Angel merchandise."

The Lost Slayer is an example of the dozens of novels taking place in the fictional Buffyverse . In this story Buffy enters an alternate reality that makes her life seem sugar-coated.
