A review by jcschildbach
Fray by Joss Whedon

4.0

A friend handed this off to me years ago, and I can't believe I didn't read it then, or at least sooner, (his recommendations have generally been spot-on). Anyway, this is an entry into the "Slayer" mythology of "Buffy" fame. I saw the original movie in the theater, but didn't follow the TV show or the spin-offs (in print or on TV). I love the build-up, but feel like (with so many other works I read) the resolution is too quick and convenient. The book is not afraid to go dark and upsetting, which churns my guts, but makes me like it that much more. If you like "Buffy", or vampire stuff, or comics, or...well, reading...this is pretty fun.
