Explanation To Books At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror

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.

Judge Of Books At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror

I just don't know what to say about Lovecraft. It's all good spooky fun, but... he really isn't a good writer. He's very repetitive, and tends to fall back on the trick of "this is the memoir of stuffy and stilted layman, so that's why it's badly written." Also there's way too much "ZOMG! It was so terrifying to behold that words cannot describe it!" "It was like that indescribable utterly terrifying thing that you are utterly terrified of but can't describe because it's so utterly terrifying!"

I love Lovecraft despite his thinly veiled xenophobia and his political sympathies with fascism. I guess just don't take you politics or world view from horror writers!

At the Mountains of Madness should be a required read for any horror fan. Loved the references to the Necronomicon and the descriptions of the Elder Things and the Great Old Ones. It really makes you wonder what lies beneath and if Lovecraft knew something we don't know!

Can't get enough of those non-Euclidean horrors. At the Mountain of Madness is about Arctic explorers discovering a huge abandoned alien city. The descriptions of the Elder Ones makes me think I could create an realistic illustration, by drawing on starfish, anemones, urchins and clams for body parts. Anyhoo, a great story of majestic terror.The Shunned House is basically about a vampiric house, although I must give it props for the good sense to include a flame thrower, even though it didn't

A classic collection - the Mountains of Madness being a small novella in the lead is especially good at building the reader up while beggering further research into Lovecraft's universe. My favourite of the lot is the Witch House in which the horror aspect comes into play moreso than the other short tales in the collection.

A geologist and his team of scientists went to an expedition at the antarctic and found something evil and sinister there. Later, a another group is set to go there on another expedition so the geologist, concerned about their safety, decides to now fully reveal what they know about the place.I have not read much horror novels, and those which I had read failed to horrify me. This is not an exception. I couldn't even get a single nightmare out of it. Lovecraft, however, was very good at his
