\"Halloween<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flashback Summer has moved past our time with the Baby-Sitters Club to revisit another enterprising teen girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We read a vintage Buffy tie-in novel, Halloween Rain<\/em> by Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder<\/a>, with our guest THE Meredith Goldstein<\/a>, the Boston Globe’s Love Letters columnist<\/a> and author of books like Things That Grow<\/a> <\/em>and Can’t Help Myself<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>This book may contradict established Buffy canon, but at least it also has some very dated pop culture references in it!
