Gripping tension, thrilling creatures, and tragic incidents, At the Mountains of Madness is one of the prolific horror writer H. P. Lovecraft’s best horror masterpieces.
A group of ill-fated explorers set off on an expedition in Antarctica. Reaching a mountain range beyond the Himalayas, the scientists uncover the long-forgotten remains of an ancient civilisation, older than the moon itself. The mysterious ruins remain home to the partially preserved ‘Elder Things’, and it isn’t long before the scientists begin to suffer at the fate of these unidentifiable prehistoric lifeforms.
A terrifyingly tragic tale of supernatural horror and macabre science fiction, At the Mountains of Madness was first published in 1936. This volume is not one to be missed by fans of H. P. Lovecraft’s pioneering work.
