The title is not a reference to that disgusting website; rather, I think it refers to the concept of a sudden onset of many skirmishes in some kind of battle - I've just started it and I don't read summaries, so I'm not really sure what the story is, but he's a psychic investigator in Chicago, so it's kind of fantasy/horror/mystery kind of fusion writing, and Butcher does know how to write well - I think I'm going to enjoy this and likely the whole series.
