Review: A Slayer Comes to Town - Scott Westerfeld
Review: A Slayer Comes to Town - Scott Westerfeld - October 2012
Before the world was
saturated with vampire TV shows and movies like Twilight, The Vampire Diaries,
and True Blood. There was one show that ruled the 90s and early 2000s for
Vampires and it even inspired a spin-off called Angel. That TV show which was
also made into a movie was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Scott Westerfeld famous
for his Uglies series and science fiction novels, brings a quick read essay
from Smart Pop Kernels called A Slayer Comes to Town which is his impression
and the impacts of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Scott Westerfeld talks about the
differences between alternate worlds vs trespass worlds and how they relate to
the hit TV show. An alternate reality is like this reality but things are
different, it can be imaginative and fantasy-based. A trespass world though
which I hadn't heard this specific term before but does make sense. A trespass
world is when you have a world that is the present reality like your everyday
town but the characters etc have been brought into it for example the town of
Sunnydale is like any other town except for the fact it contains Vampires etc.
This is called a trespass world. A Slayer Comes to Town by Scott
Westerfeld is the perfect quick read for any fans of the hit TV show Buffy the
Vampire Slayer.
