The Longest Night, published December 2, 2002, is a collection of short stories based on the U.S. 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 Santas 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.
