Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels

Buffy novels have been published since 1998 by Pocket Books. Authors who have written original novels include Mel Odom, Christopher Golden, and Nancy Holder.

Buffy novels are not considered an official part of Buffyverse canon. However, unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising the basic story of each novel (written early in the writing process) were approved by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), thereby allowing the books to be published as "official Buffy/Angel merchandise."
