SIDELIGHTS: Horror writer Christopher Golden's body of work includes numerous series for teens and adults, as well as many books that tie in to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television program. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Watcher's Guide—The Official Buffy the Vampire Slayer Companion, written by Golden and Nancy Holder with Keith R.A. DeCandido, is a comprehensive companion to the program, which concerns a teenage girl who battles the forces of evil. The book features episode summaries, biographies of show regulars and guest stars, the geography of the fictional town of Sunnydale (where the series is set), and more. "Sure, it's excessive … but addicts will no doubt suck this trivia-laden tome dry with fanatic ferocity," observed Kristen Baldwin in Entertainment Weekly. Mark Graham of Denver's Rocky Mountain News advised Buffy fans: "Don't miss this book."

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Monster Book, a collaboration with Tom Sniegoski and Stephen Bissette, is a guide to the supernatural beings who have figured in the program, either as Buffy's adversaries or her allies. It includes interviews with the show's creator and several of its scriptwriters, plus information on the role otherworldly creatures have played in the culture overall. The "behind-the-scenes info" will appeal to regular watchers of the series, while the background data will be valuable to new viewers, according to Kris-tine Huntley in an article for Booklist.

Two of Buffy's monsters, vampires Spike and Drusilla, star in Golden's graphic novel Spike & Dru: Pretty Maids All in a Row. This book finds the two vampires trying to acquire a magical necklace from an evil demon, who orders the pair to kill all the world's Slayers-in-Waiting, young women who are prepared to become Slayers in the event of another Slayer's death. A Publishers Weekly reviewer commented that "the narrative's swift momentum and engaging action sequences make for breezy entertainment."

Golden's "Body of Evidence" series of novels focuses on Jenna Blake, a college student who works in a medical examiner's office, a setting that allows her to get involved in solving mysteries. The first book, Body Bags, has Jenna trying to thwart a global conspiracy while being pursued by a killer "whose technique demonstrates Golden's sense of the truly morbid," noted a Publishers Weekly contributor. In Meets the Eye, Jenna sees a dead student come back to life during his autopsy, and she then finds that other people thought to be dead are alive and committing crimes. Skin Deep adds the issue of racism to the plot, as Jenna goes on the trail of a killer who has the power to change his skin color. Golden's writing style is "a cross between horror and mystery," reported School Library Journal contributor Michele Snyder, who found some elements of Skin Deep "far-fetched" but the book "involving" overall.

Straight on 'til Morning, an effort outside of Golden's series books, is a coming-of-age tale with echoes of the never-aging boy, Peter Pan. The protagonist, thirteen-year-old Kevin Murphy, has a crush on a slightly older girl, Nikki French, who is more interested in Peter Starling, a mysterious young man who eventually spirits her off to a place called Neverland. Kevin, aided by his brother and friends, sets out to bring her back. The novel is "a horrific and ultimately sorrowful thriller," commented a Publishers Weekly reviewer.

In his book Angel, Autumnal, Golden features another character who originated on the Buffy television series and then was spun off for an independent series. In the book, the "good" vampire Angel is featured in two horror tales, one involving the rescue of a little girl from kidnappers and the other a girl who catches people on fire whenever she touches them. Francisca Goldsmith, writing in the School Library Journal, called the book "excellent in relation to other titles on the same subject or in the same genre."

Golden's novel The Ferryman features Janine Hartschorn who is close to death after childbirth but spurns Charon, known as the mythical "Ferryman," when he comes to take her to the other world. Although Janine survives, her life and the life of her boyfriend, David, become connected to the world of the supernatural as Charon cannot seem to fathom that Janine got away from him. Bizarre experiences, such as Janine looking like a girl that David accidentally killed in a car accident, soon appear to threaten their happiness and even their lives. "Supernatural terror and a riveting story will thrill horror fans," wrote Kristine Huntley in a Booklist review. A Publishers Weekly contributor wrote: "Superior characterization, an exquisitely detailed setting and superbly orchestrated suspense set this above the usual run of horror novels."

Force Majeure, written with Golden's frequent coauthor Thomas E. Sniegoski, tells the story of Shane Monroe, a physicist's protogé. Monroe learns how to create tornadoes and soon finds himself pursued by the Black Box Department of the government so they can create tornado weapons. Government agents capture him and kill his friend in the process, but Monroe eventually is rescued by a group called the Truth Seekers. Julie Webb, writing in the School Library Journal, commented that "older science-fiction fans will enjoy reading about bizarre government projects."

The Gathering Dark is the fourth novel in Golden's "Shadow Saga" series and features Peter Octavian, who lived as a vampire for centuries but has become human. Nevertheless, he continues to have extraordinary powers and soon finds himself part of a group battling demons that have the ability to transport cities into an evil dimension of existence. Booklist contributor Kristine Huntley called the book "scary and thrilling."

Journalist Will James, who is contacted by a dead schoolmate, takes center stage in the novel The Boys Are Back in Town. James is not initially surprised by the email he receives from Mike Lebo because he is going to their ten-year high school reunion. It is only when he arrives that others remind him of Mike's death in their senior year. Before long, Will realizes that he is caught up in supernatural events and travels back in time to save his old friend's life and right several other wrongs that occurred the night before his senior prom. A Publishers Weekly contributor took note of the novel's "suspenseful plot and strong atmosphere." Charles De Lint, writing in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, commented that the book features "style and heart, and a cast of characters that you can't help but like, even while you find yourself suspecting each one at some point or another during the narrative."

In the first book in the "OutCast" series, OutCast: The Un-Magician, authors Golden and Sniegoski present the secret society of Arcanum and the boy Timothy, whose deceased father was a mage and who is soon made part of the group by his father's former apprentice, Leander. Writing in the School Library Journal, Tasha Saecker commented that "the authors have created a unique story filled with adventure." In the sequel titled Dragon Secrets, the authors continue the adventures of Timothy, whose only power appears to be to counteract others' spells, which makes him suspect among other members of the Arcanum. This installment involves Timothy in rescuing his friend Verlis, a dragon-like entity, from imprisonment by the local constable. School Library Journal contributor Farida S. Dowler called the novel "ornate, [and] suspense-filled."

Golden and Sniegoski have also collaborated on another group of books called the "Menagerie" series, beginning with The Nimble Man: A Novel of the Menagerie. The Menagerie is a group of people with supernatural powers who fight evil. Led by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, known simply as "Mr. Doyle," the group soon finds itself in battle with the Night People who seek to set free the Nimble Man with dire consequences for the world. Kristine Huntley, writing in Booklist, commented that the "series is definitely one to watch."

Ghosts of Albion: Astray, which Golden coauthored with Amber Benson, is part of a series that features brother and sister William and Tamara Swift, early nineteenth-century sorcerers. In this installment, the Swifts combine their talents to solve the mystery of who is replacing newborns in the village of Blackbriar with demonic babies. Booklist contributor Kristine Huntley noted that the book "gives a taste of the imaginative, exciting world the Swifts inhabit." Writing in the Library Journal, Jackie Cassada called it both "curious and intriguing." In Ghosts of Albion: Accursed, the Swift siblings find themselves aided by friendly ghosts as they try to figure out why poor women are becoming pregnant with unwholesome creatures while a series of murders are committed by reptilian-like beings. A Kirkus Reviews contributor summed up: "Demons, bodice-ripping passion and some good old murky London gloom; all one can ask for in a dark night's reading."

Golden collaborated with Rick Hautala in writing five of the later novels in the "Body of Evidence" adventure-mystery series. The plot of one such book, Last Breath, revolves around a series of bodies found in pools throughout Boston, including the New England Aquarium. Nineteen-year-old Jenna Blake sets out to solve the mystery, which may involve a murderer called The Baptist. In another installment in the series titled Throat Culture, college sophomore Jenna's role as a part-time assistant to the local medical examiner leads her to investigate a series of poisonings, which end up including the dean of her college, classmates, and her father's new wife. Debra Smith, writing in Kliatt, noted that "this addition to the series will not disappoint fans."

In his novel Wildwood Road, Golden tells the story of Michael Dansky and his wife, Jillian, who become involved in the world of ghosts after Michael picks up a young female ghost standing on the roadside one night. He takes the girl home to her house on Wildwood Road, where he soon finds himself running from other ghosts. Despite escaping, the Danskys' lives are changed forever. Ghosts attack Jillian and take her girlhood memories away, turning her into a bitter, unhappy woman. Michael decides to return to the house to learn how to get his old wife back, but he soon finds that this will not be an easy task: the house tends to disappear and then reappear in new locations. A Kirkus Reviews contributor wrote that this "may be Golden's best." Another reviewer writing in Publishers Weekly commented: "King-style horror draws the reader irresistibly into its mystery."

Golden collaborated with Ford Lytle Gilmore to write Horseman. The story takes place in Sleepy Hollow and features newcomer Aimee Lancaster and her family, who soon find themselves encountering strange things, including a menacing dog and rumors that the headless horseman may have returned in modern times and is the one responsible for a series of murders. Before long, Aimee and her brother Shane, suspicious of the headless horseman theory, begin to investigate on their own. "This chilling novel is sure to appeal to teens drawn to the supernatural," wrote Heidi Hauser in Kliatt.

Golden begins a new series with The Myth Hunters. When Oliver Branscombe is confronted by a creature made of snow and ice named Frost, he is convinced to help return him to a world populated by fairy tale creatures. Soon Branscombe is caught up in an adventure to stop a creature who has escaped from this alternative world to come to Earth and murder people. Jackie Cassada, writing in the Library Journal, deemed the novel "a chillingly suspenseful tale of nightmares." Booklist contributor Kristine Huntley noted that the author has created a "colorful, vividly imagined world."
