Blimey - not to me. Scary certainly, but not at all maniacal (unlike the Vadeli). If anything, I'd say they were quite tragic, forced into rigid codes of behaviour by an overwhelming fear of death and ageing. They are callous certainly, and have expunged some of the most uplifting parts of the human spirit from their culture, and in certain respects one can therefore see them as being "horrible"... but "maniacs" just doesn't seem the right word to me.
