Product Description

Review

“One of the greatest short novels in American literature, and a key text in my own understanding of what that literature can do.”
–MICHAEL CHABON

“Lovecraft’s fiction is one of the cornerstones of modern horror.”
–CLIVE BARKER

From the Trade Paperback edition.

Product Description

A complete short novel, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS is a tale of terror unilke any other. The Barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless--or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures...and the carved stones tens of millions of years old...and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of the City of the Old Ones. Three additional strange tales, written as only H.P. Lovecraft can write, are also included in this macabre collection of the strange and the weird.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tomentous to Hirsute Horror, April 16 2004

By A Customer

Lovecraft's stylistic eccentricities detract significantly from the effect of this novel. Read a botanical description of a plant part in Gray's Manual of Botany...."Ciliiate, hursute to somewhat scabrous acuminate appendages appressed to squamous bracts..." (Egad!!! Let me out of here....!) compares well with the " squamous, octopoid monstrosities" with which H.P. populates many of his visions....Taking a child's distortions of reality based on what psychologist might call "deficiency needs" (Colin Wilson in the intro to "The Crawling Chaos") Lovecraft adorns his preoccupations with fancy words.....strange locals....and people on the verge of losing track of local reality...and creates what the unimaginative would call a "really good horror story". The situation resulting is quite humorous when one considers the legions of fans who are captivated by the technique. Compare the methods and subject matter of Lovecraft with that of Lehninger in his discussion of thermodynamics in his BIOCHEMISTRY volume. Both authors investigate strange beasties "octpoid, tentacular monstrosities" or "enthapy, free energy, entropy, work, equilibrium constants, etc." , but in the first case we only learn of Lovecraft's psychologic preoccupations, whereas in the second we learn of the hidden existants of the Universe with which we can all achieve a much greater understanding of Reality. The present writer has compared the thrill derived from reading these authors....Lovecraft only increases my appreciation of Lehninger...and causes me to ask. "Why does the human brain find the complex nonsense (advanced by H.P., etc) so attractive? The reason is probably hidden somewhere deep in the DNA responsible for our limbic system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovecraft's best full length story!, Feb 3 2004

By	Roy Murphy "Roy E. Murphy, Ph.D." (Olympia, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great full length story -- not a short story. Most Lovecraft stories are too short for him to really develop his characters, but this one is quite different. It is in the class of H.Rider Haggard's "She" and A. Merritt's "The Face in the Abyss." A modern similar story is Emerson's "The Riddle of Cthulhu" that delves into the Lovecraft Mythos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cthulhu History, 101, Nov 18 2003

By	Vagabond77 (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews

H.P. Lovecarft's "At the Mountains of Madness" is pivotal to the Cthuluh Mythos stories. It is a short novel about an expedition to Antartica. Inside a huge frozen city underneath the mountains they find the entire history of the Old Ones. You must read this one if you are going to understand anything about the ancient monsters (or about Robert E. Howard's "Kull" or "Conan" time period). There are a few problems with this story. Once again Lovecraft uses an obscure vocabulary, and it is a little hard to initially get into. Also I found it a little hard to except that the scientist was able to decipher the alian hieroglphic so quickly. But those are only minor complaints. The other stories are ok. "Dream in a Witch-House" is pretty good, the others are just ok. But "Mountains" is the reason to get this one.
