Isn't that the point, though? I think a lot of people would agree that werewolves/vampires are only cool because they're fictional. Considering how much detail the book went into about exactly how horrific the change would look, it also made total sense from that side.

I dunno. Werewolves in particular are extremely popular as a ham-fisted metaphor for gay people/trans people/people with AIDS/whoever we want to unintentionally offend today, so even when they're not used for that, I have a hard time with the idea that they're supposed to be different from everybody else. Most of the time, they don't really seem that strange or scary.

I agree that most of the time they don't seem strange/scary, but they certainly did in that book. Vivian had a lot of very animal habits/predatory instincts, with all the thoughts of sucking marrow out of bones and chasing down prey, up to and including people.

As someone who rarely finds things where aliens and such actually seem alien enough, it was very refreshing.

Maybe I'm just really blase about eating people. I never really saw the difference between eating people and eating other living, breathing things that would very much prefer not to die, and since my mother was insistent that she wouldn't raise a vegetarian, I got used to the idea that animals get eaten. This wouldn't be the first time I was nonplussed that carnivorism was supposed to be strange or scary.
