horrified fascination is the emotion i feel most strongly reading bakker's work. after kellhus says, "we shall eat sranc," i kicked myself because of course they have to. it was inevitable from the start. but still, i didn't want to admit it, and it horrified me. immediately i start thinking that sranc meat is gonna make them all go stark raving mad, because bakker would do something deranged like that to his characters.
The Aspect Emperor, may he live forever, has been feeding the prisoners in the dungeons Sranc meat for years now to test for possible side effects. He also has a separate dungeon as a control group!
