    • Chirayoju, een vampier uit de Chinese overlevering, en Sanno, de legendarische, Japanse Bergkoning, zitten al eeuwen vast in een dodelijke strijd. Letterlijk. Een oude vloek heeft de geesten van deze twee strijders in een antiek zwaard gezet. Tot het zwaard in Sunnydale terechtkomt. Chirayoju wordt per ongeluk bevrijd, en gaat op zoek naar een gastlichaam dat hem in staat zal stellen verder te gaan met het verwoesten van de levens van de levenden en de doden. Dan komt Buffy deze legendarische vampier op het spoor, een bloederig spoor, door het hart van de Buffy-Xander-Willow-driehoek loopt.

      From online entertainment mogul and actress Felicia Day comes a humorous and inspiring memoir about her unique upbringing and ascent to Internet stardom. Far from just cat videos, Felicia's journey includes her life as a violinist, filmmaker, compulsive gamer, and a former lonely homeschooled girl who transformed her isolated childhood into a thriving career in Hollywood. Growing up in the South, she was "homeschooled for hippie reasons" before moving to Hollywood to chase her acting dreams, where she initially faced typecasting as a quirky secretary. However, her Hollywood misadventures led her to create her own web series and production company, establishing herself as a significant figure in the realm of Internet creators. Her narrative is infused with reflections on creativity, video games, and a hint of feminist activism. This memoir is a testament to embracing individuality and the courage to share one's uniqueness with the world, proving that anything is possible—even for those who feel like digital misfits. Hilarious and motivational, it encourages readers to celebrate their differences and pursue their passions.
