Just a random, extremely nerdy thought that popped into my head as I finished reading 'Kitty and the Silver Bullet,' the fourth book in her 'Kitty' series (and, for my taste, the best since 'Kitty and the Midnight Hour'), since the description of the 'Long Game' struck me as a bit like a vampiric analogue of the Gathering.

Yep, this is exactly the kind of thing that I think about when I should be doing my qual reading.
