Tales of the Slayer

Zusammenfassung "I can´t be...just a person! I can´t be helpless like that...." -- Buffy! "Helpless" At eighteen! each Slayer must face a terrifying trial: the Tento di Cruciamentum. This time-honored! albeit cruel! rite of passage forces each Watcher to drain the Slayer of all her physical powers and then send her to vanquish a powerful vampire using only her wits. When Buffy Summers underwent her Cruciamentum! she managed to defeat Kralik! a vampire who had been committed to a sanitarium as a human for torturing and murdering more than a dozen young women before he was turned. However! not all Slayers have been so cunning. Tales of the Slayer! Vol. 4 chronicles the Cruciamentum of eight earlier Slayers. From Prohibition Chicago to beatnik New York City! from the sideshows of a traveling carnival to a small Irish farm! from the fifteenth century to the twentieth! the Cruciamentum has tested the prowess of Slayers throughout history. Each of them has had to fight: for her job! for the lives of those she loved! and for her own existence....
