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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

It's six stars or four, I don't know. It was just the last page, and I realized how bad I wanted them to kiss, suck, lick the dead creatures of nightmares, and they were all covered by cherry waves and aurora borealis, scarlet like scars. I would like an even more swallowing, almost erotic fusion. On the last page, I wanted to turn everything around and turn scientists into girls, who will bring a glossy black colour, an autopsy. I heard the kissing sounds of blind tall penguins and white monkeys. I was just dreaming, what is needed for the peak of madness? My cells can't feed. This desire from deep place where the liquid pearl of the writing human mind leaked, clung and filled the very edge of cutout. And it has changed and inflamed me so much, and I want more, to go, beyond the golden edge of cup
Absolutely terrifying. Fantastic read. Had the hairs all over my body rising as my latent monkey brain tried to get me to stop reading.
