You’ve waited for it. I’ve teased you mercilessly. You’ve pleaded, begged me, “Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease, Auntie Heather! Pleeeeeeease show us the cover of the first Slayer book! Pleeeease tell us the title!” And I have been a cruel, merciless overlord, and have not shared these things with you.
Until now.
Minions. Today I am going to tell you the title of the first book of The Slayer Chronicles, and reveal to you its cover. Both of these things have been a long time coming.
But before I do so, I’m afraid I have to tease you just a little bit more, with some fangtastic fun facts about the book (which will debt September 20, 2011):
- There are 30 chapters in this book.
- It is the darkest book (so far) that I have ever written.
- You will meet Cecile.
- You will see two characters from CoVT besides Joss & his parents.
- The book mostly takes place in the Catskills in New York.
- The book opens with a not-to-be-missed prologue.
- The first chapter is titled THE NEXT GREAT ADVENTURE.
- The last chapter is titled A SLAYER’S GIFT.
- The first sentence of the thirteenth chapter is: Setting explosives the day before had been immeasurably entertaining–and terrifying–but when Joss woke to a note from Uncle Abraham that said to meet him in the clearing, he was certain that this day was going to be drastically different than yesterday in tone.
- The last word in the book is soon.
Welcome, my Minion Horde, to the world of Joss McMillan, to his series – The Slayer Chronicles, and to the first book of five. The title is FIRST KILL. And this is its cover.
Seek it out, Minions, and pre-order as soon as you can, because this is one journey you won’t want to miss!

but i loved the ending the twist of the story… and blood ohhh the blood and gore was the best… but it had its sad parts nice book hope to c more vlad tod book in the future
The Chronicles of Vladamir Tod are my favorite book series!
The BEST books i’ve read in a long time! I fell in love with Vlad’s character, his description sounded very attractive! At first it was hard to picture him, but by the second book I was in love ♥ ♥ ♥…I hope to see movies of ALL the books out, to see what he really looks like! Seriously think about the movie thing! Hahaha.
vlad rules
Can’t wait for the slayer chronicles
The last series were the best books I will ever read. Why end twelth grade kills like that. Please do one more
Heather plzzzzzzzzz write another Vladimir Tod book & can it b about 57 chapters
your books r so AWESOME that i finished the entire series in 1 week!!!!! Ive read them all about 10 times!!!! Welll LUV ur books, Ur my inspiration…. & stay on the Dark Side!!!!!!!!
Heyyyyy Heather im so excited dat u made another book; The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill….u ROCK HARD
you should totally make another vlad book
PLEEEEEEEEASE make another Vladmir book!!!! I mean with Snow’s eyes flashing green? You must make another book of Vladmir Tod! Snow is my favorite character and I have so much questions to ask! I believe you can make another Vladmir Tod book and all these fans on this site help support you. I loved The Chronicles of Vladmir Tod and I personaly believe you should continue writing about Vlad’s point of the story.
The end of th Vladimir tod books make me wanna read a book about Snows life. And can’t wait for the new slayer series I’m getting it for my birthday
The end of Vladimir tod makes me wanna read q book about Snow. And I’m getting the slayer chronicles for my birthday!
This is gonna be so fanggin awsome!
Guys, Heather is never gonna make another instalment of Vlad. She’s following that old showbiz quote. Always leave em wanting more. Unless it’s all part of her devious plan to trick us into thinking there isn’t going to be one so we’ll be so exstatic when we hear about it we will be vonerable to her mind control device, which she will use to make us take over the world. Just a theory.
So all I’ve so far is why end it like you did. and something about the character Snow having is own series. but I’m only on the third book enjoying lots. And yes make it a movie so we all can see the characters faces. So I’m gonna get your new series. Just so ya know I’ll bet there be a series about Thomas with the answers you been wanting to know… just a thought.
For some reson I always respected Joss… And cried in some scenes in the books… Now I’ll be buying a box of klenex with the book
i have read all of your books and they were exhilarating i was hoping for another book on vlad in college but one on joss will have to do (plus i bet its even cooler from his side of the story.)
Why did u end the vlad book like that I want so much more it was a great book read then all plz make. 6 one
I didn’t understand at first why Snow’s eyes flashed green and i should have realized this after 11th Grade Burns but now i realize that everyone that Dorian mentioned and how their eyes changed different colors they were the colors of the cover of each book.Nice!
i love her books, im workin on my own y’know! hope i finish it this year
i really want to read this book… after i read ill write about it on my book blog….ps it’s called http://www.mywaybookblog.webs.com
i love vlad tod
I totally agree with Shianne, a movie series for the books would be the most incredible thing since cell phones. I think the ratings would go through the roof….. pretty pretty please consider it…. for your fans…
death what is it why do i want to know??
because i have so many people dieing around me i know what death is its like a dream that you never want to wake up from.. period….
OMG! It comes out on my 14th birthday – so excited!

cause i think we all have so many questions
about all the character in this book and i hope thier is a movie
omg i picture vlad hot i love ehot emo blood sucking guys there in my favore and how snows eyes turned green is because she is a vampire just like vlad
i am 100% in agreement with Viraj, and everyone who says you should write another vlad book. i am in another agreement with Mark. YOur an amazing writer
