The Longest Night, published in 2002, is a novel in the form of twelve connected short stories based on the American television series Angel .
It's December 21, and hour by hour Angel and his crew must survive the longest night of the year.
A quest for a missing child taken by his father leads Angel to a house where the father has made a pact. In return for a human sacrifice each winter solstice, both father and son could live forever.
A group is killing people portraying Santa Claus and replacing them with their own people so that the sound of their bells can open a rift in space-time and allow a demon to eat the Earth.
Angel needs help from Cordelia - 4 days before Christmas and he still hasn't done his shopping. But he really is planning a surprise gift for her. They must deal with demonic chaos.
Wesley meets two ghosts from the early Hollywood era who lead him to a better understanding of his life.
Cordelia is invited to become a model, but there is a catch.
The title is a pun on Have Gun — Will Travel, a popular Western TV series which ran in the 1950s and 1960s. The entourage of the prince of a small middle eastern country-who turns out to be a demon in disguise- is worried for his safety. They ask Gunn to impersonate him for an important gathering. Naturally, things don't go as planned.
Having Lilah Morgan send presents was a good idea. Lilah sends Christmas presents to all, but of course she is not playing nice - it's a ploy to test their resolve.
A group of wannabe Druids builds a stone circle to sacrifice a virgin. Time-traveling adventures ensue.
Something is killing the down-and-outs, and Angel and Co. go undercover to save the day (or night in this case).
An ice demon shows up in the hotel and plays with people's memories.
Christmas carolers are being taken as hosts for a demon race. After freeing the singers and defeating the demons, Angel feels like singing - and does.
The creatures of the night are trying to prevent the new day from starting, and only Angel can ensure the new dawn.
We didn't get to read each other's stories, we just knew a tiny bit about what would happen in the ones before and after ours. So, for instance, I mentioned in the very end of mine that Angel knew he had to go do some last-minute shopping. But we knew it wouldn't flow exactly right, because if it did then it would be a novel by a buncha different writers, and not a collection of short stories. [1]
Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarizing their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy/Angel merchandise.
