Reviews

'This book is for all the Buffy fans new and old who are asking themselves "where do we go from here"? Fan Phenomena: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a celebration, a geek freak out, a fun pontification on what it means to continue to be inspired by this cheeky, kick-ass pop culture icon' 
*Jo Jo Stiletto, Producer Whedonesque Burlesque*

'This is a brilliant and compulsively readable exploration of the fandom dynamic in the context of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fan and scholar Stuller has amassed a fascinating array of essays and interviews by the best and brightest (and wittiest!) who love and study the Slayer' 
*Nancy Holder, NYT Best Selling Author*

'Jennifer Stuller’s new compilation has once more revised and expanded our sense of what a Buffy volume can be, this time offering us not only fresh insights into the world of the slayer and her life in the minds of fans, but a new graphically enthralling book design as well – a perfect inducement for what Joss Whedon once called “the revolutionary page-turning process”'
*David Lavery, Founding Co-Editor of Slayage: The Journal of The Whedon Studies Society and author of Joss Whedon: A Creative Portrait*
