Dit is het eerste Buffy-boek dat ik in jaren lees, en ik moet zeggen dat ik heb zitten genieten. Er was waarschijnlijk constant een creepy smile op mijn gezicht af te lezen omdat ik na jaren eindelijk weer herenigd was met één van mijn favoriete TV-shows ooit.

In dit boek is Buffy nog een beginnende Doder, en zijn Willow en Xander nog maar beginnende Scooby's. Het plot is geschreven aan een goed tempo, en gebruikt Samhain as baddie van deze week. Het zou leuk geweest zijn om hem op het scherm gezien te hebben met zijn brandend hoofd, maar je kan niet alles hebben. ;)

Wat ik wel hopelijk snel kan hebben, is het volgende avontuur in mijn handen om dat te herlezen. Hopelijk weer met een glimlach op het gezicht!

Veel leesgenot.

A fun Halloween read following the scooby gang and the goings-on in Sunnydale. It was ridiculous but fun (just like the show) including the pumpkin king, zombies and vampires (of course). We had a cameo of Principle Flutie and another character named in episode one as well as a trip to the bronze. 
Quips, puns and violence - exactly what I was expecting.

This is a fast paced Buffy story based on a Halloween legend of a scarecrow coming to life when it rains on Halloween. Of course like any legend in the Hellmouth this is true and is actually Samhain the spirit of Halloween. Alongside this we have some zombies and vampires too. I thought this was a great quick read, it feels like an episode of the show. It is very dated and some of the conversations felt forced. This is only the second book from the entire collection and this is the first original story so the authors were finding their footing. I still think its a great read especially for the Halloween season.
