Synopsis

In H.P. Lovecraft’s terrifying tale of science fiction and horror, an Antarctic geological expedition stumbles upon clues to an ancient alien civilization, and the origin of life on earth, but also awakens an ancient evil, a blasphemous darkness that threatens their very survival.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most astonishing and significant works modern horror fiction, influencing many films, ranging from Howard Hawks’s The Thing from Another World to Ridley Scott’s Alien and Prometheus, Lovecraft’s tale is an evocative and terrifying story, full of rich, atmospheric description and a brooding sense of darkness and intangible evil.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

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.
