Book description
Despite creator Joss Whedon's professed atheism, Buffy often dealt with religious and philosophical symbolism. The book is made up of a collection of essays that link classical philosophy to the Buffy show's ability to explore the underlying evil in everyday life through supernatural metaphor.
