The Reformed Vampire Support Group Chapter 3 Summary

  • Nina is shocked and scared to see Casimir's remains, but not sad.
  • See, Casimir brought vampirism to Australia. He left Europe in the early 1900s disguised as a mummy, then bit Horace (an aspiring archaeologist) in 1908.
  • Horace infected Gladys (a streetwalker) and Sanford (a doctor); Gladys infected Bridget (the nun who was trying to help Gladys after Casimir bit her), and then George (an apprentice).
  • Thanks to Sanford, the infection didn't get too much further. His wife, Maud, a nurse, helped him come up with treatments to reduce the vampiric need for blood, and Sanford also confined Casimir for a few decades. After Maud died, Father Ramon helped Sanford corral the bunch.
  • Father Ramon convinced Sanford that Casimir had suffered enough, so they dug him up in 1973. But then Casimir bit Dave (a musician), followed by Nina—she went to a party, and ended up a vampire. Bummer, right?
  • So… yeah, none of them are too sad about Casimir dying, since it's his fault that they're all vampires in the first place. Problem is, his killer knew how to dispatch a vampire (stake, beheading, or sunlight), and might be after them next.
  • Everyone gets a little freaked out at this thought. What if Casimir's killer took his address book? Did he even have an address book?
  • They all decide to scram. Sanford pauses, though, and digs around in Casimir's ashes (ew). He comes up with a silver bullet, and decides to bring it along just in case.
