Visitors

by Laura Anne Gilman

First published 1999

Buffy Summers thought she had seen the last of Jenny Calendar when the techno-pagan teacher died at Angelus's hands. She was wrong. Now Calendar's ghost has returned to Sunnydale, along with other spirits from battles past. Buffy and her friends must confront these supernatural visitors who blur the line between memory and reality. For Giles, seeing his lost love again opens old wounds that never properly healed. The Scooby Gang discovers that some ghosts carry unfinished business, while others bring warnings about threats yet to come. As Buffy navigates this reunion with the dead, she learns that the past refuses to stay buried in a town built on a Hellmouth. The encounter forces everyone to face what they lost and what they still have left to lose.
