The Bewitching Hour: A Tara prequel

Publication date: August 1, 2023

In this Buffy the Vampire Slayer prequel, fan-favorite and LGBTQIA+ icon Tara Maclay gets the main character treatment… whether she wants it or not.

Tara Maclay isn’t thrilled to be starting her senior year of high school in a new town. She misses her mom, her garden, her magic — and the way her dad treated her before her mom passed. But if Tara can just keep her head down, then maybe she can make it through this year in Hellborne, Vermont without the town living up to its name.

Of course, her plan falls apart immediately, as dead students start turning up around her, and she’s suddenly voted Most Likely To Have Murdered Them by the rest of the senior class. Oh, and the fellow new girl Tara’s crushing on? Turns out to be a witch-hunter. So maybe it’s not the worst thing that Tara’s magic is majorly malfunctioning.

As the body count rises, Tara has to overcome her fears, reconnect with her magic, and cast herself in a more central role to save the town — even if it means putting her new relationship at risk.

Written by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Ashley Poston, The Bewitching Hour is the perfect blend of ’90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and star-crossed sapphic romance.

Author: Ashley Poston; cover: Sam Schechter; publisher: Disney Hyperion.

Finally started The Bewitching Hour! I'm a huge BtVS fan who loves Tara, so I'm looking forward to hearing a bit more of her story. I can't comment on the book yet since I haven't gotten very far, but the cover art is absolutely gorgeous! I hope that if the prequel series continues, the following novels have such pretty art:

I have loved Tara Maclay since the beginning and I have been angry and have mourned her for over 20 years, and this book is going to destroy me 😭

The Bewitching Hour: A Tara Maclay prequel

Publication date: August 1, 2023

Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan-favorite and LGBTQIA+ icon Tara Maclay becomes the main character in this prequel full of '90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and a star-crossed sapphic romance, written by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Ashley Poston.

Tara Maclay isn’t excited to start senior year in a new town. If she can keep her head down, though, then maybe she can make it through this year unscathed.

Her plan immediately falls apart when dead bodies start turning up around her, and the girl Tara’s crushing on turns out to be a witch hunter.

...So maybe Tara’s magic malfunctioning isn’t the worst.

But as the body count rises, Tara has to get past her fears and reconnect with her magic to save the town — even if it means putting her relationship with Daphne at risk.

The Bewitching Hour is full of a lot of hope, a little heartbreak, and just the right amount of 90s magic.

Author: Ashley Poston; publisher: Disney Hyperion.

If Tara's prequel is bad that's going to be my villain origin story. However, if it's good that's also going to be my villain origin story. Either way, I'm turning evil in August.

Need more Leon fics but not romance ones I need ones that explore his awfully disturbing and downright pathetic and merciless life. Love Leon to death but that man is never feeling romantic attraction (I say this as I call him my wife/babygirl)

#In my head he is aro/ace and always has been #but also I think he would be straight unfortunately bc I think it’s funny #I need to be writing fics but my writing is rather repetitive bc I gifted kid burned out (undiagnosed autism) all my literary skills in- #grade 8 when they put me in honors English #dislyte #dislyte Leon #sometimes I think abt if Leon ever did like anyone and it was mutual feelings they probably died and Leon was like ok not doing that again #HES MY SAD PITIFUL WET DOG #sad sopping wet cat with big ass eyes #bewitched my body and soul #I need Leon in a way that creates a new sin in the Bible #I could ramble abt him for hours no one understands me

It's been a minute since I've read one of the Buffyverse novels aimed at adults, and I kinda forgot that they can be scary?

I started Carnival of Souls tonight and even just reading the prologue made me uneasy. Which is what I want from these books more often than not. I realize I'm pretty easy to scare, but please do that more often.

#it actually kinda grates on me that the new books all appear to be aimed at a teenage audience #as if they (Disney - who owns the publisher Hyperion) don't realize or care that the fanbase is not solely teens and 20-somethings #and I know this sort of thing is also dependent on the author - and I do have favorites #call it a pet peeve I guess #Buffyverse novel tag #edit: I do want to say that I really enjoyed the newest novel 'The Bewitching Hour' - #but it was PG-13 high-school-horror-movie scary at best #great atmosphere no doubt. but it was not written to spook someone my age
