There will be a new Buffy book coming out in January, yay called: One Thing or Your Mother.

Kristin Beyer is the author.

Book Description
It's tough being a teenage Slayer. On the verge of failing her junior year -- thanks to annoying Principal Snyder, who seems to be acting even stranger than usual lately -- Buffy agrees to meet with a tutor. Not helping her studies is the fact that lately she's been exhausted, waking up each morning feeling more tired than she did the night before.

To make matters even worse, she's tasked with investigating the disappearance of a child...a little girl who happens to have gone missing mere hours before a child vampire surfaced in Sunnydale, accompanied by a wheelchair-bound male who fits Spike's description perfectly.


Fighting off exhaustion and uneasy at the prospect of staking a child vamp, Buffy learns that Principal Snyder is the target of a sleep-deprivation spell that has taken over Sunnydale. Putting aside her fear that her tutor is out to get her, and hoping that the sleeping spell is affecting both humans and demons, Buffy investigates Snyder's odd behavior. She follows him to his childhood home to discover that he has arranged to have his abusive mother banished to the demon dimension. Meanwhile, Drusilla, who has been playing mother figure to the child vampire, is learning how difficult it is to be a parent. As sleep takes hold of the citizens of Sunnydale, Buffy begins to realize that unless she breaks the spell soon, the nightmare is just beginning.

That sounds really cool. I always thought that at one time or another, a child vamp should have popped up in Sunnydale to see how people deal with it, and even in book formation, I'm sure it'll be cool :)

This does sound like a good novel, particularly since it's set in the Angelus arc of season 2. Plus, Kristin said in an interview that this is the first time we find out Snyder's first name! haha

Won't this be the last Buffy novel or something? That would suck...

But still.

This sounds like a really good book and I can't wait for it to come out!

Last Buffy novel? I don't think so, since I read somewhere about at least a few more being written, I totally hope it's not the last.

Has any body read this one? I was going through my local bookstores and this is the only one I have actually been able to find recently. I've rerad about 15 other of the novels now and wondered what people thought of this one? Thanks!

I hate to say this, since I said basically the same thing about books set after Season 7, and the results was "The Queen of the Slayers," but I would really like to see some GOOD books cover the time between Season 7 and Season 8, or even some set in Season 8 itself. All of the books don't have to keep re-hashing the first 7 seasons.
