Before Season 8, Joss Whedon brought generations of Slayers and vampires to comics with the help of his acclaimed TV writing team and some of the best artists to ever grace the comics page. Now all those stories, plus selected stories from Season 8, are collected in one deluxe hardcover with a new cover by Jo Chen. Joss writes multiple tales: a somber vamp tale drawn by Cameron Stewart, the story of the first Slayer drawn by Leinil Yu, and more. This essential complement to Season 8 features stories written by Buffy actress Amber (Tara) Benson and the amazing writers of the show, including David Fury (24, Lost), Doug Petrie (Tru Calling, CSI), Jane Espenson (Battlestar Galactica), Rebecca Sinclair (Gilmore Girls), Drew Goddard (Lost, Cloverfield, Cabin in the Woods), Drew Greenberg (Dexter) and The Tick creator Ben Edlund (Venture Bros., Supernatural).Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales also reprints for the first time new Season 8 stories written by novelist Jackie Kessler (Hell's Belles) and award-winning cartoonist Becky Cloonan (Demo), featuring vampires living in the public eye, killing Slayers and killing each other.

Format:Hardcover
A beatifully presented Hardcover edition of the collected short stories 'Tales of the Slayer' and 'Tales of the Vampire'.
If you're a Buffy and Angel fan this book is a must have, it is written by the shows creator Joss Whedon as well as various writers from both series and comic book authors. The book devles deeper into the already dense mythology of Buffy's world telling stories of Slayers and Vampires throughout history.
I already owned the paperback editions of 'Tales of the Slayer' and 'Tales of the Vampire' but this new Hardcover edition is definatelty worth getting; the presentation is gorgeous and really shows off the beautiful artwork.
It also contains two brand new 'Tales of the Vampire' stories taking place in 'Buffy Season 8'.
I can only hope that Dark Horse treats us to Hardback editions of 'Buffy Season 8' and 'Fray' in the same vein to complete the collection.

I finished reading this yesterday. I bought it right when it came out but was at first confused as to what was included. For those of you wondering, this includes the complete "Tales of the Slayers" as well as "Tales of the Vampires." OH... But there's more! The Slayers section concludes with the one-shot comic book "Broken Bottle of Djinn" & the Vampires section ends with the Season 8 comics "The Thrill" & "Carpe Noctum." There's also a cover gallery in the back.
So if you don't already own "Tales of the Vampires" & "Tales of the Slayers," buy this book! Heck, even if you do own them already, get it again! 'Cause this is much better. The pages are blown up so you can better appreciate the artwork, it's hardcover bound so it'll last FOREVER, it has a beautiful dust jacket & it even has one of those cloth bookmarks...fancy!
Basically, this book is awesome. It even has Angel on the cover. Definitely a deal maker. Stop reading this review and add "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: TALES" to your cart... NOW!
If you end up hating this (not gonna happen), you'll have an awesome paperweight.

This is a huge, oversized hardcover collection, and it's just gorgeous. I already owned nearly everything in the hardcover, but after seeing this in person, there was no question it was a must buy. No Buffy comics have ever gotten a better presentation than this. Bring on Fray and Season 8 in this format, Darkhorse.

Wow, size does matter. It's hardback, it's chock full of Buffyness, and it's large in dimension which means the lovely artwork is clearer and larger than ever with a nice tassle... Read more

Fantastic edition but where's Buffy?
"Tales" is so beautifully illustrated and has a nice balance between old school Buffy and the continued Season Eight graphic novel series. Read more

Beautiful presentation, excellent stories
The presentation of this volume is marvelous, rivaling Marvel's hardbacks. The artwork is variable, but stays in the range from good to brilliant, so there is nothing to complain... Read more

Not Buffy
Buffy and Xander make a brief cameo in one short story where Buffy picks Xander up from Dracula's where he has been hypnotized to be Dracula's manservant. Read more

Great presentation
The uniqueness of each story is more prominent when set, side by side, with each other. The difference in art style is stark, and sometimes jarring, but beautifully rendered in... Read more
