Trivia - The books featured in this list are non canon. They are not part of the Buffyverse reality, but are stories from the authour's imagination. Unlike internet fan fiction however, all of these stories have been licensed as official Buffy the Vampire Slayer merchandise. Furthermore the overall concept for each Buffy novel had to be accepted by Joss Whedon (or his office), who did not want these novels to venture too far from Whedon's original intentions.
