A Slayer falls.
A story begins.
And Spike bares his soul—just a little too much.
In “Fool for Love,” Buffy’s brush with death sends her searching for answers about her kind. Who better to ask than the vampire who’s killed two Slayers? What follows is a masterclass in character storytelling—Spike’s bloody, tragic, and surprisingly human history unfolds, from London poet to leather-clad killer. But his vulnerability comes at a cost, and when Buffy turns away, something in him changes forever.
