This has always been one of my favorite trilogies in the book series.

The titles are:

1. Out of the Madhouse
2. Ghost Roads
3. Sons of Entropy

All three of the novels are written by Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder.

excerpt from Out of the Madhouse
Werewolves. Trolls. Sea Monsters. Rain of toads. Skyquakes. Sunnydale is being besieged by dark forces. But even with Buffy providing her unique style of damage control while Giles is hospitalized out of town, it's more than on Slayer can handle - especially wince the abominations are coming from a centuries-old portal through time and space.

Somehow, the hell-hole must be found and corked at its source. For Buffy, Angel, and the rest of her gang, that means a road trip to Boston where an ailing Gatekeeper resides over a supernatural mansion that has been, until recently, holding the world's worst monsters at bay. Once there, Buffy discovers the catastrophic truth: the magical structure houses thousands of rooms, all of which are doorways to limbo's "ghost roads," and all of which may bring her face-to=face with the most nefarious forces in hell and on earth - forces bent on horrific plans far worse than the Slayer ever imagined.

There are three books that all tie in nicely together and they're an interesting read. All of the things that come out of the rooms in the mansion are fascinating enough, not to mention the journey on the ghost roads in the second book.

Take a look, you might like it!

Its been years since I read these books but they were my all time favorite Buufy books at the time. I loved the bangelness in them and the introduction of the ghost roads, along with Lucy Hanover. They were really good books to read.

I read these 3 novels too! They're very creative! I love the ideas that the author thought of!

Brilliant. That is all I have to say.

That and if they are ever going to do a Buffy movie don't you think they should just film this novel? They could do it Lord-of-the-Rings style and have it in three separate movies. The more the better, hehe.

These are by far the best Buffy novels. And by the best authors as well. I prefer Christopher Golden to Nancy Holder slightly more but together they work amazingly well.

I love the characterization in these, I think it's very true to the show and the interaction is awesome especially the core four.

Love that Giles had Michaela but again sad for him that she betrayed him somewhat.

I was recently going through the Buffy books that I have read and I think it was near enough 20 or so and these ones stood out for me. They were very nicely tied together and I remember wishing they had made them into a TV episode as it would have been great. I tended to like the three part ones, like the Unseen Trilogy.
