List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels
Appearance
A large number of Buffy the Vampire Slayer books have been published since 1998 by Pocket Pulse, and Simon Spotlight Entertainment.
Canonical Issues
- The books featured in this list are not part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authours' imaginations. Unlike internet fan fiction however, all of these stories have been licensed as official Buffy the Vampire Slayer merchandise. Furthermore the overall concept for each Buffyverse story had to be accepted by Joss Whedon (or his office), who did not want these stories to venture too far from his original intentions.
