Lilly takes apart Episodes 1-11 of Season Two of Joss Whedon's cult TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . She examines key plot turns, character arcs, metaphors, and themes to figure out how Buffy created: Stories that break your heart and make you long for more; Characters who grow in surprising yet believable ways; Dialogue that's cleverer and more fun than any in the real world; and Universal themes that somehow speak directly to you. If you love Buffy , and you love creating stories - or just taking them apart to see how they work - this book is for you. Based on the internationally-popular podcast Buffy and the Art of Story .
