Quote #7
As it turned out, Casimir's corpselike appearance made killing him far easier than Nefley had anticipated. It was like spearing a wax dummy. (16.14)
Forget the vampire shows or movies where a staked vampire explodes into a bloody mess, or bursts into a cloud of ash that gets everywhere (including in the slayer's mouth—gross). In this version of vampire reality, Casimir's corpse maintains coherence as an ashy set of remains. It's apparently not too bad of an experience for Nefley, who decides to try to stick with his slaying spree.
Quote #8
By this time they must have realized that they were dealing with a rather strange sort of person. For one thing, Nefley kept babbling about the undead. For another, his entire flat was full of garlic and pentagrams and crucifixes and posters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (16.37)
When the McKinnons take Nefley captive, they don't seem to spend too much time wondering about his choice of interior decoration. Even though they're used to dealing with werewolves, it doesn't seem to occur to them that vampires might be a thing. We wonder how events might've gone differently if their reality had included the possibility of vampires existing…
Quote #9
"He might not look like a werewolf, but if your friend can turn into a wolf, he might be able to turn into other things, as well. He might have several identities." (17.38)
Surprisingly enough, it's Horace bringing up these points when an unconscious Nefley is brought back to Nina's mom's place. No one knows who he is yet, so Horace asks if he might be Reuben in disguise. That's when they realize that they don't actually know anything about how werewolves work. Whoops.
