It's happened to me, too.

Blackwater was a very unusual book. After finishing it and thinking about it for a day - and I couldn't stop thinking about it! - it really started sinking in what an amazing tour de force of writing skill I had just journeyed through. I'm still feeling sort of gobsmacked.

Thanks for posting!
