I always tell people reading Lovecraft to enjoy the prose and the weirdness, and not expect it to be horror. It's weird fiction, and part of the charm is that he tries to write it so that it seems like it really could have happened.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Turns out what I read was only a short story in the original Arsene Lupin book, not that one.
