“There is a kinship, between the climate scientists and the epidemiologists and the scholars of authoritarian states. The people who research worst-case scenarios are stuck breaking bad news while protectors of profit margins and purveyors of institutionalist mythologies market false assurances. The later remain successful not in spite of evidence, but to spite the evidence.”

“É possível verificar que conforme a doença-vampirismo se espalha pela narrativa, ela progressivamente a contamina com um discurso viral, que acaba permeando toda a ação: as pessoas se sentem “doentes”, “um lixo”, mas “deve ser só gripe”; se Mike está doente, “alguns acham que ele pegou alguma doença do Danny Glick”; quando a mãe de Danny Glick começa a ter sonhos estranhos com o filho morto, seu marido nota como “ela estava pálida [...] os lábios haviam perdido a cor natural, e ela ganhara olheiras escuras”; se a Casa Marsten fede, o odor “lembrava lágrimas, vômito e trevas”; se a indústria dos trailers cresce, ela cresce “como uma epidemia”; se o medo de uma doença indizível se espalha, “fantasias paranoicas podem ser contagiosas”; se o vampiro logra atacar-me, “não encosta em mim, fui contaminado”.”
