BOOK DESCRIPTION


Lately, while patrolling, Buffy's been getting the distinct impression that she's being stalked by a demon that emits a high pitched giggle. After discussion and research with Giles, they discover that Buffy's being stalked by a 'korred'; a nasty hairy beast that feeds off of peoples life forces by making them dance until they die to his magical song. The korred is particularly attracted to Buffy because of her Slayer aura. Buffy must stop to korred before he makes her dance to her death.


TRIVIA


  • Tagline: 'The slayer is being stalked'.

  • Buffyverse Canon characters include: Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles, Angel, Cordelia, Oz, Joyce, Ethan Rayne, Devon, Jonathan, Principal Snyder

  • Buffyverse Non-canon characters include: Gerald Panner (Watcher); Sheila, C.B., Rebecca, Elaine, Miriam (student teachers)



CONTINUITY


  • Supposed to be set late in Buffy Season 3. This is one of the many of the Buffy novels set in an alternative Buffy Season 3 (Spring 1999). They tend to break established Buffyverse canon in any or all of the following four ways: (1) The threat of the Mayor and Faith is not a major concern. (2) Xander and Cordelia remain an item. (3) Buffy and Angel remain an item. (4) Giles accepts Angel, whilst according to established canon, tension remained between the two throughout this time.

  • Ethan Rayne appears in this story, presummably after his appearance in season three's "Band Candy."



Canonical issues

See Also: Buffyverse canon



: Buffy Comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as Canonical . Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike Fan Fiction , overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.


Timing


  • Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:
