PARASITE open thread!

To (somewhat belatedly) celebrate the release of Parasite, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun!

So, are we ever going to see Don't Go Out Alone published as a separate book? Because if so, I recommend Randy Milholland (better known for "Something Positive", but look at his "Rhymes With Witch" cartoons (http://www.rhymes-with-witch.com/)) to do the illustration.

It would not be an unheard of move, as my copy of "Where's My Cow?" (autographed, even) will attest.

That said, I had a lot of fun, but I still fail to understand how, despite the name, Symbogen continued to refer to their product as a "parasite" as opposed to a "symbiote". Or maybe that will be the title for the final book in the series, given that "parasite" is definitely the appropriate term for what's going on.

Kay_gmd and I would totally read it to Josh. We assumed it was made-up, but I still poked around online to see if the book really existed before Seanan confirmed that it didn't. :)
