The Gladneys (White Noise)Read about another entry on the list.
OK, maybe it’s unfair to peg the Gladneys as unpleasant holiday guests. Professor Gladney is, after all, a learned scholar, and Babette is quite the conversationalist. Really, other than the fact that he studies Hitler for a living, they both speak obsessively of death, she’s a drug addict, and he attempted to kill the man with whom she was having an affair, they’re really quite lovely company.
