List of authors who have written novels set in the fictional Buffyverse:

Canonical issues

The books featured in this list are not part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors' imaginations. However unlike fan fiction, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon, and were therefore later published as officially Buffy or Angel merchandise.

Keith Topping

Keith Topping has written several unofficial guide books to television series such as The X Files, The Avengers, The Sweeney and The Professionals. He has also written guides to both Buffy, and Angel.
The style of the guides analytically studies each episode in categories, drawing attention to things which may otherwise have not been noticed by viewers.

''Slayer''

The first edition of Slayer was released in the UK in December 1999, and offered a guide to the first three seasons of Buffy. The book has undergone numerous editions, the most recent of which, Complete Slayer includes information on all seven seasons of Buffy.
The categories which Topping uses to analyse each episode include:
"Slayer" categoriesInformation
"Dreaming is Free"Commentary on dream sequences.
"Dudes and Babes"Commentary on "who's hot and who's not"
"Authority Sucks"Buffy's run ins with authority.
"Mom's Apple Pie"Commentary on aspects of family life and in particular the relationship between Buffy and Joyce.
"Denial Thy Name is Joyce"Details of Buffy's mother's abilities in self-delusion.
"It's a Designer Label"Details of fashion tips, statements and victims.
"References"Brings attention to subtle and unsubtle cultural references.
"Geek-Speak"Notes cultural references from the Trio
"Bitch!"Notes moments of female meanness.
"Awesome!"Notes Topping's preferred sequences of action, or comedy.
"Valley-Speak"Notes the speech patterns of Californian teens.
"Cigarettes and Alcohol"Notes teenage naughtiness.
"Logic Let Me Introduce You to This Window"Goofs and errors in continuity.
"I Just Love Your Accent"Commentary on perceptions of Britain and Britishness.
"Quote/Unquote"Topping's preferred dialogue.

''Hollywood Vampire''

Hollywood Vampire has gone through several editions, the most comprehensive of which, includes Angel seasons 1–4. The 228-page guide to Angel Season 5, Hollywood Vampire: The Apocalypse, also by Topping, was released in May 2005.
The layout of the guide follows that of Slayer using categories for each episode, some of which are different than its predecessor:
"Hollywood Vampire" categoriesInformation
"Dreaming is Free"Commentary on dream sequences.
"Dudes and Babes"Commentary on "who's hot and who's not"
"It's a Designer Label"Details of fashion tips, statements and victims.
"References"Brings attention to subtle and unsubtle cultural references.

"L.A.-Speak"Notes the speech patterns of wealthy Californians.
"There's a Ghost in my House"Appearances from Phantom Dennis.
"Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n Roll"Mentions of characters walking on the wilder side of life.
"Logic Let Me Introduce You to This Window"Goofs and errors in continuity.
"I Just Love Your Accent"Commentary on perceptions of Britain and Britishness.
