I'm also more frightened of the bogeyman in my closet than I am of the vapory supervisor in the corner office. I suppose some people would find this "horrifying" and I understand and appreciate what he is trying to do but it's just not part of my belief system so it doesn't work as well for me as say Lovecraft, or better yet, Ellison does.
