So… a supernatural version of the Reavers are coming to town, it would seem. Unless our heroes can stop it!

And that last quote is for all you Skinny Puppy and/or Legend of Hell House fans out there, just to be clear.

“Lupinism,” for those who don’t know, involves a transformation into a red (or, just once, green) jacket-wearing, short-haired, sex-obsessed master thief always pursued by a bumbling detective.
No, wait. I think I have my cards messed up.

No, that’s exactly it, Howie. It is a truly evil infection.

Great sequel! Didn’t get the last quote, but it’s still very very good.

It’s a variation of a very long quote from the film The Legend of Hell House (a quote the band Skinny Puppy sampled in the song “Double Cross”).

In terms of the story, though, it means that the infection causes those things in the infected; and lupinism, by the way, means becoming a werewolf.

That infection definitely sounds worse than the flu.
