Book description

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Night Terror stalks its victims in their dreams. The demon replaces another's soul with its own, then wreaks chaos in the real world. The effect has always been short-lived. Human bodies soon crumble under the stress of the transfer, and the Night Terror has to find a new body to take over. It soon discovers Buffy's secret and hopes the Slayer could be a stronger permanent host.

Continuity

Supposed to be set in BtVS's second season, after Spike and Dru have arrived in Sunnydale, but before Angel has lost his soul.

Canonical issues

Buffy novels, such as this one are considered by most fans to not be part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors' imaginations. However unlike fanfic, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as official Buffy merchandise.
