Buffyverse literature includes Buffy novels, Angel novels, Buffy/Angel novels, Tales of the Slayer, and both official and unofficial guidebooks.
Additionally, two magazine titles have been published by Titan Magazines in the United Kingdom for fans of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine commenced publication in 1999. Angel Magazine had a limited run of 24 issues and was published between September 2003 and July 2005. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine incorporated Angel Magazine from #76 (August 2005), and was renamed Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine incorporating Angel Magazine. It went bi-monthly in 2006, and the final issue was #94 (June/July 2007).

List of authors (alphabetically by surname) who have written novels set in the fictional Buffyverse:
The books featured in this list are not part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors' imaginations. However unlike fan fiction, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and were therefore later published as officially Buffy or Angel merchandise (see main article for details).
The Official guides to Buffy the Vampire Slayer offer a comprehensive guide to the show. The episode guides include synopses, lines from the shooting scripts that were deleted, biographies, interviews, music listings, monster listings, special notes, pictures, quotes, and much behind-the-scenes information.
