Made. Of. Flail.

Um. Um. Um. Okay. Look:

The NPR List of 100 Killer Thrillers has been released.

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS LOOK LOOK AT #74 LOOK AT IT LOOK THAT'S MY BOOK THAT I WROTE THAT'S FEED ON A LIST PUBLISHED BY NPR HOLY CRAP.

...okay, I'm better now. Sorry about that. Except that I'm neither better nor sorry, but I am fairly convinced that I've been asleep for the last two years. If I wake up and this has all been a really detailed linear dream, I'm taking my brain out behind the woodshed. I'm just saying.

I mean, this isn't the first awesome Feed-related thing that's happened. Consider, if you will, io9's top picks for summer reading. Sure, the summer's almost over, but there's still a little warm weather left in which to enjoy a good zombie apoca—WHO AM I KIDDING WITH THE CALM RATIONALITY?! MY BOOK THAT I WROTE IS ON A LIST PUBLISHED BY NPR HOLY CRAP.

I love this book so much, and I love that my weird science fiction dystopian political thriller full of zombies is actually getting out there and infecting the world with its, well, weirdness and its virology and I am so excited I could just about scream right now. Because HOLY CRAP. That's going to be my refrain today, I swear. HOLY CRAP.

I leave you with the meme your meme could smell like, an awesome Old Spice Man-inspired "everybody is awesome" feedback meme, and I go off to gibber and giggle in a corner until I can calm down a little.

HOLY CRAP.

Now George is going to have the Old Spice Guy's voice whenever I read Feed. I can't decide if this is awesome or just plain weird.

And of course you're on the NPR list. NPR is listened to by intelligent, well read and thinking individuals. Anyone who has most of their brain and not bitten by a zombie would realize that your book belongs on such a list.

Noo... It's creepy! It's creepy!

Look at your presidential candidate
Now look at ours.
Now back to yours.
Now back to ours.
Your candidate isn't doing as awesome as ours
But he could be, if your were to read our blog, the End of Times
Look again
You're getting ratings off the scale.
You're in the number one slot.
What's this?
It's the Republican candidate primary election.
Check the votes.
Your candidate won!
Oh hell, his vice presidential candidate has been plotting against him.
I've been turned into a zombie.
