There's a Roger Zelazny story where the evil doer keeps his enemies alive so he can torture them.

He had one guy's nervous system woven into a rug so he can stomp on them when he's mad.

God damn. I definitely don't want my enemies to be creative.

"Creatures of Light and Darkness.'

Also has the Agnostic's Last Rites.

Great book.

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony. Amen.

The stomping would probably feel good; imagine how itchy it would be to be woven into a rug & not be able to scratch
