About this listen

Read by the authors and hosts of the hit podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, this memoir reflects on heartbreak, perseverance, building community, and life lessons learned from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This audiobook features bonus songs, jingles, and clips from the podcast and live shows, and contributions from fans/committed Scoobies.

Kristin and Jenny’s marriage started with an ultimatum: to further their relationship, Kristin must watch Jenny's favorite show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of “Scoobies,” unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.

Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other’s lives through it all. While chock full of Buffy-related content (and Buffering!) for true fans, this is ultimately a memoir of queer love and chosen family. It's a heartwarming story for anyone who's experienced lost love, and a roadmap for staying close with your ex.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Raw, painful, optimistic and loving. It hurt to listen at times. Kristin's strength is really inspiring.

Heartbreaking but hopeful

I found “Buffering” during the pandemic. Like many others during that difficult time, I was isolated from my friends and family and had to rely on other ways to connect with people. “Buffering” provided this for me. Every day, I listened to Jenny and Kristin discuss my beloved tv show and delighted in the level of detail, creativity, musicality, and introspective insights they brought to each episode. I loved the jingles, STAs, interviews, deep dives, and most of all - the bond between Jenny and Kristin, which was extended to the “Buffering” community at large. They were a comforting voice in a dark time.

So of course - I bought their book.

“Slayers” feels like an extension of the podcast, in the best way possible. It was an honest discussion about a vulnerable point in their lives, and how Jenny and Kristin decided that the show must go on regardless of their own pain. It’s also a heartwarming affirmation that this community has become more than just the “Buffering” podcast - we are here for each other, in whatever capacity.

To quote our favourite ball of mystical energy:

When it’s dark and I’m all alone and I’m scared or freaked out or whatever, I always think: what would Buffering do?

Until next time, Awooooooo.

Extremely raw and honest

A very emotional peep into Buffering's two beloved hosts, read with care by them. The addition of the songs made this audiobook so much better!

A Buffering delight
