Prejudice against undead

>I remember Vlad describing a kiss from Sethra as "warm-despite-the-cold." 
>/Jhereg/, I think, in Morrolan's ballroom. 

This is more of an emotional reference than a reference to a physical
reference, I'd think. Sethra greets him warmly while the rest of the guests
give him an understandably chilly reception.

>>While The Necromancer clearly isn't in the
>>same category as Sethra ("That's how you die. That's how he dies. That's
how 
>>she dies. It's all very personal.") 

>Is this a Vladian quote, or a TV reference to something else? It doesn't
ring a bell.

Beetlejuice reference. It's the explanation given for why the afterlife
isn't quite what the main characters of the movie expected it to be. 

>I wonder how Vlad feels today about the day he "gave as good as I got"?

That would require a spoiler warning, but if you review the "council of war"
in _Jhereg_ you should see what I was referring to.
