Well, I'm not into that scene personally, you understand, but as Tolkien points out regarding Rivendell, good times don't usually make good story. Writers have tortured their characters since before writing existed -- check out oral literature like the Iliad and Odyssey, or the story going down in the Book of Job. Or the Potter stories, for that matter. The Celtic legends underlying SUMMER COUNTRY and WINTER OAK get into some truly dark and nasty territory.
