I will say....about 66% or so. I'm surprised it's not coming to you, Lorraine.

are you sure it's 66 !! Now I can't even find the review that said it !!!
And I'll probably be starving until I find it again !
ARRRRGGGHHHH !!!
OH YES I REMEMBER NOW ! Just had to read the leading up to it to remember... I guess although I reacted to it when I read it it just didn't "mark" me as much as other things... I'm just different... Please don't be angry with me !
It's 58% by the way... Tut tut Charlene for sending me on a wild goose chase... :)
Off to get dinner on the go !
I was 8% off. Please forgive me.

Winking at Jon can be dangerous....Just saying.

Oh dear ! Whathaveidonewhathaveidonewhathaveidone !
Hahaha ! Should have bet you'd wink :)
Some day, when you have time, I would be curious to know how that scene came about. Did you think of it before you started writing the story or were you writing along and it just happened? Set pieces like that (at least for me) really stamp a book into the memory. I am not talking about the scene being gory or whatever. More like it was so primal and disturbing---such a great pivot point in that novel.
Yea it definitely gives the whole thing a lot more meaning !

The man is a fricking GENIUS!!!!
Brilliance rolls off him like sweat off a fat man!!!!
Everything he writes lingers in one's mind like a wet fart in the couch cushions of one's memory!!!!

Well let's say that there are probably more poetic ways of saying what you've just said... but I'm sure Kealan will be flattered :)... very much so :)
Great. Now I don't want to sit on any couches.
Makes one think twice before eating Cheetos scavenged from between the cushions.....

Too late!You know and I know you've slept on that couch, cheek to cheek with the ghost of dinners past.
Breathe deep.....
You have a marvelously sick mind, Kealan.
Hey, who's the expert here, you or me?
Thanks, Kealan. I thought it was an amazing scene and falling at that point in the novel it brought the philosphical and literary overtones to the forefront, especially being such a dark perversion of a Southern Christian concept. Made me think of Cormac McCarthy and "Blood Meridian."
I truly did NOT see that scene coming which made it all the more shocking to me. It was really, really cool. I am up to the part where the "coyotes" are just now attacking and Claire is on her way....this one is really hard to put down, Kealan, and I don't say that lightly. It really doesn't happen that way for me as much anymore (too damn cynical) so this is a rare treat.

Well yeah it was you all that got me excited about it in the first place, so thank you! :)
You're welcome!I'm glad you are enjoying it, Froggie!
It's great to be able to share a find like that with my friends!
You may not know, but I do.I've seen the best and the worst the genre has to offer since 1975.
KIN is the best damn horror novel of the decade. At least.
