Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BFI TV Classics S.) is a 2005 academic publication relating to the fictional Buffyverse established by TV series, Buffy and Angel.

Anne Billson's book gives an extended overview of the history of Buffy. She details the show's antecedents and influences and explores how, in a broadcasting environment necessary for a long-running series, the show was able to push the envelope and grow into a fully realized mythology in which the supernatural is made real through emotional honesty.
