"We know who you are. And we know why you're here. We've been waiting.
We have been here since the beginning. Now we are almost at the end. You
are the Hellmouth's last guardian." - The Shadowmen to Buffy, "Get it
Done"
As long as there have been vampires, there has been the Slayer. One
girl in all the world, to find them where they gather and to stop the
spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers.
From the first vampire staking to the last glimpse of Sunnydale,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a genre-busting hit, attracting
millions of fans worldwide. The last three seasons ran the gamut from an
episode without music to a musical episode, from the arrival of a
teenage sister to the death of Buffy (again).
Now the third volume in this best-selling series of companions will
break down every episode of seasons five, six, and seven - from the
villains and the victims to quotables and love bytes - as well as take a
wide-ranging look back at the entire run of the show.
