Step One: DON'T chain drink coffee all day whilst reading Lovecraft!
Step Two: DON'T absent mindedly polish off a bottle of red wine whilst still reading Lovecraft!
Step Three: DON'T decide that you've had too much wine and try to balance this out by drinking more coffee... whilst continuing to read Lovecraft!
Step Four: DON'T suddenly realise that it is the middle of the night and that you are alone in a dark and suddenly sinister house and yet continue to read Lovecraft!
Just follow these four easy steps and with good luck and forward planning you will not find yourself jazzed on caffeine, tipsy on wine and twitching at shadows and half imagined sounds as you wait for dawn... still unable to stop reading Lovecraft!
