Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born
Explore the history and cultural impact of a groundbreaking television show adored by old and new fans alike: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Over the course of its seven-year run, Buffy the Vampire Slayer cultivated a loyal fandom and featured a strong, complex female lead, at a time when such a character was a rarity. Evan Ross Katz explores the show’s cultural relevance through a book that is part oral history, part celebration, and part memoir of a personal fandom that has universal resonance still, decades later. Katz—with the help of the show’s cast, creators, and crew—reveals that although Buffy contributed to important conversations about gender, sexuality, and feminism, it was not free of internal strife, controversy, and shortcomings. Men—both on screen and off—would taint the show’s reputation as a feminist masterpiece, and changing networks, amongst other factors, would drastically alter the show’s tone. Katz addresses these issues and more, including interviews with stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Marsters, Anthony Stewart Head, Seth Green, Marc Blucas, Nicholas Brendon, Danny Strong, Tom Lenk, Bianca Lawson, Julie Benz, Clare Kramer, K. Todd Freeman, Sharon Ferguson; and writers Douglas Petrie, Jane Espenson, and Drew Z. Greenberg; as well as conversations with Buffy fanatics and friends of the cast including Stacey Abrams, Cynthia Erivo, Lee Pace, Claire Saffitz, Tavi Gevinson, and Selma Blair. Into Every Generation a Slayer Is Born engages with the very notion of fandom, and the ways a show like Buffy can influence not only how we see the world but how we exist within it.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Buffy is a meditation on power and powerlessness in the same person. PS: That was a pretty good summary, and I appreciate that you took the time to watch the show and write this for us. It reads like an essay from a fan, which I love. DK: Well, I am a fan. I’m also an assistant professor of women’s studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, which is the home of UCONN’s television school. We have this amazing thing called the TV Study Group, where we watch all of the different shows together and talk about them, and one of my goals is to help teach people about shows they might not have seen before. PS: That’s so cool. You are helping people learn about shows they haven’t seen before. DK: Yeah, so I have some expertise in being able to talk about shows that I haven’t seen before, which is really helpful because I keep hearing from my students that they don’t get me. #2 I have expertise in talking about shows I haven’t seen, which is helpful because I keep hearing from my students that they don’t understand me. I don’t get them, but it’s good for their viewing experience. #3 Kendra, the Black Slayer, was on Buffy for a short time in the early ’00s. #4 Spike was the right person for Buffy when she was young and vulnerable, and Angel was the right person for her when she was powerful and independent.
