One of my favorite parts of the first Anita Blake book was a lengthy discussion of the legal status of zombies and vampires - it was refreshing to have a series where the masquerade really didn't exist and to see how the author imagined that affecting society. Of course, all the later books kind of ditched that aspect in favor of having giant supernatural S&M orgies because the author lost her mind. Oh, well. In the case of GK, it seems like the masquerade is maintained basically by there not being that much supernatural stuff to begin with. For every real voodoo circle, there are a thousand guys in pharmacies selling bags of brick dust to sweep your stoop with to keep out evil. For every genuine werewolf, there are a hundred maniacs who pretend to be werewolves and maybe even think they are. For every... oh, we haven't got to the third game yet, have we? Well, you get the idea. So anytime a scientific examination starts up, it's going to find all the fake people and conclude that everything is fake. (Especially since the real ones will hide out and have supernatural abilities to avoid detection - they must, see, or they would have been wiped already, wouldn't they?) Is it a bit thin? Sure, but it's enough to base suspension of disbelief on, if you're so inclined.
