As Buffy herself says: "I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, another is called." Tales of the Slayer Volume II is the second collection of short stories about other Slayers from different time periods all over the world.

First and foremost it begins with a girl. "Into every generation, a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, to find the vampires where they gather, and to stop their evil and the swell of their numbers..." Joss Whedon's introduction to the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer created a mythology all of its own, a mythology which is now as much a part of the popular cultural landscape as Dracula himself. Buffy Summers is its archetype - but before Buffy there were countless other Slayers, just as there will be many after her.

In Tales of the Slayer, top genre writers - including some from the TV show itself - conjure the lives and deaths of Slayers past and future, expanding the world of Buffy into other places and other times.
