H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness

Beskrivning

January 25- 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica . . . to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby . . . for under its five points is a grave-and what lies beneath is not human! At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft’s mythos-the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved-amidst the ruins of its first civilization- built by the alien Elder Things with the help of their bioengineered monstrosities- the shoggoths. Since it was first published in Astounding Stories during the classic pulp era- At the Mountains of Madness has influenced both horror and science fiction worldwide!
