** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Yesterday's sudoku was easy and brilliant; today's sudoku is rock hard and a masterpiece. We live in the halcyon days for this passion of ours and Bodysnatchers by AnalyticalNinja and Kafkapharnaum is absolutely worth its place in the pantheon of truly great puzzles. Some of the deductions you can make in this one will have you literally shouting with joy.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. There is exactly one Doubler cell in every row, column, and 3x3 box. These cells contain a full set of the digits 1-9 and do not overlap with the Body Snatcher cells. A Doubler cell's value is twice the value of the digit in that cell. There is exactly one Body Snatcher cell in every row, column, and 3x3 box. These cells contain a full set of the digits 1-9 and do not overlap with the Doubler cells. Body snatcher cells count as exactly one higher, or one lower than the value of one of the cells they are orthogonally adjacent to and that cell must be in the same box as the Body Snatcher it's parasited by. Each purple line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating values, which can appear in any order. Digits can repeat on a purple line as long as no value ends up repeated on the line.
