At the Mountains of Madness

H.P. Lovecraft has long been regarded as a master of nightmare imagery. With his classic work of supernatural horror At the Mountains of Madness published in 1931 Lovecraft established the authenticity and dignity of his own pioneering fiction. A turning point in macabre writing is the purposefully presented and progressively more terrifying account of an Antarctic expedition's strange discoveries and their encounter with an unknown threat in the ruins of a long-gone civilization.
