There is an old work called The Vampire, his Kith and Kin by Montague Summers. It's an early work from last centuary on vampires, explaining their origin and growth throughout literature. It's an excellent read on Vampires. I read it a long time back (still when I was a Buffy fan though), and thought it was alright, and never thought anything more of it. Recently I heard that the creators of Buffy, took the last name Summers from Montague Summers as a sort of homage to the man and his works. I'm not sure if it is true. I thought it was cool, and thought some of you may want to know (or may know if it's true or coincident), so you can add another badge to your Buffy Obsession biggrin

That is extremely neat and it makes me want to read this book now.. I wouldn't be surprised if the name Summers was taken from the author, that's a cool way to do it. 3nodding

Firefly only lasted for one season, right? And is it out on DVD? I want to see it, but somehow I think it's probably not on TV reruns. I'll check, though.

I'll check, though. heart Troika heart Yes, the complete series is on DVD, I highly reccomend it since there are two episodes on it that were never aired on TV. Not to mention it's got great extras.
