I have to say the creepiest part of this one's the "Mad Scientist and Unresisting Victim" marital relationship. Similar case-story in Machen's "Great God Pan". Maybe you could see it as an example of Mad Science as a shared hysteria, infecting both scientist and human guinea-pig and trapping them together in a dance of mutual doom...
