Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition s uncanny discoveries and their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization is a milestone of macabre literature. This exclusive new edition, presents Lovecraft s masterpiece in fully restored form, and includes his acclaimed scholarly essay ''Supernatural Horror in Literature.'' This is essential reading for every devotee of classic terror.

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 --Clive Barker

From the Back Cover

Introduction by China Mieville
Long acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries-and their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization-is a milestone of macabre literature.

Bad edition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this hurriedly, without checking out the edition. It's an extremely shoddily produced volume, made almost as large as a magazine. With pages this large, the text should really be split into columns for ease of reading, but each line is very, very long - making it a chore to read. It's also an awkwardly shaped/sized volume to hold and read in bed. Given how low-quality it is, it doesn't even have the advantage of being much cheaper than better editions. Don't buy this. Find a better edition instead.

Anyway good luck to the script writer in fashioning a movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this book after reading how it has been years in preproduction (meaning never brought to resemble a movie script). How it was to dark a subject matter for its time, in deed It was but my main bugger boo with this book was in its over wording of a rather simple scfi story .and not much terror as to the story , that a race of interstellar beings comes to earth able to transvers the depths of space without spaceships settle here then lose their abilities to relauch themselves when needed ,,, oh yes and fight a rather vague enemy from across the same depths just seems meager but in its favor it has got potential as a strat of a bigger book . Anyway good luck to the script writer in fashioning a movie , they've been made with less of an idea .

Some Lovecraft books annoy me with their overbearingly heavy style

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2018

Verified Purchase

Some Lovecraft books annoy me with their overbearingly heavy style. Others are heavy enough to bring a sense of weight and importance that makes the story really feel big. This one is in the latter category. Plus, most Lovecraft is only horror. This one also has some adventure, which mixes in nicely.

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't what I read. I think I need to read more of his books, before I can make a decision on Lovecraft

AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2012

Verified Purchase

This is H.P.Lovecraft at his best...this amazing tale of the bizarre alien `Old Ones` that came from the stars and once ruled the earth millions of years ago ...but are now long gone...or are they...this CD tells the tale of an Antarctic expedition that discovers the ancient remains of gigantic buildings and monuments of a race of beings that came from another star system...they begin to collate evidence to take bake to the civilized world...then members of their team begin to disappear...the mexican film director Guillermo Del Toro (`Pan`s labyrinth` `Hell Boy`) ...has this Lovecraft story down as one of his future Movie projects....and i for one hope he produces a film as good as his brilliant master piece `Pan`s Labyrinth` ...this is a four CD reading well told by William Roberts.

Ahead of its time even today!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2013

Verified Purchase

I picked this book up when i heard Guillermo del toro was going to make a movie on it. Before you begin to read the book please keep in mind the book was written in circa 1931 and once you are in the middle be remember that very fact. the book was way ahead of its time then and quite an advanced concept to explore even today. i know there are a quite a few movies and even a genre that cover the same plot lines. But this is the original for me.
The imagery depicted in words is so vivid and graphic, your mind picks up every nuance that lovecraft tries to weave as you go along a entertainingly chilly ride.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2014

The guy was a master of conjuring strange imagery with words. It is not terrifying, but it is a good mystery with other worldly peril. Definitely good to read, if like me you have heard the book or the author referenced a lot, but not quite known much about Lovecraft or his Chtulu mythos.
