Oh man- that's so bad one must laugh.

But it makes for interesting exercises to spot the references and 
intentional
mistakes, e. g. 
"Kismet (the Buddhist word for fate)"

Not me. I find algolagniacs quite useful. Actually, I
find algolagnia itself useful, too, especially when
giving birth. Gotta love those endorphins. Demerol is
for wimps.

My mileage does, but only in that it seems to me that almost everything 
he writes has some comedic content, however black

alg=pain, lagnia=arousal, phobe=fear; afraid of sadists

'algolagniaphobia' ?
Could be from 'algophobia' - fear of pain, and 'lagnappe' - gratuity.
Fear of painful gratuity?

Gotta love Wolfe and his corny coinage.
