Literary Idiots

So far I've only read the first two short stories in a collection by H.P. Lovecraft (The Beast in the Cave and The Alchemist), and already I understand and totally agree with the author of the introduction. Despite the evils and scares that lie ahead, I absolutely want to strangle the characters. They are horrific morons (pardon the pun) and deserve ever single iota of crazy that comes their way. Unfortunately, they have so far each managed to come to a happy (if you can call uncovering the truth behind the veil of darkness "happy") endings.

I feel violated.

There are some customers that make you feel like taking a shower after talking with them.
