At the Mountains of Madness

Presenting nine fantastical works by one of literature’s “most critically fascinating and yet enigmatic figures” (Alan Moore), At the Mountains of Madness: And Other Tales of Weird Science is an essential volume of H.P. Lovecraft’s most visionary science fiction. In “From Beyond,” a reckless experiment ruptures the thin membrane separating our world from one teeming with interdimensional lifeforms, while “The Shunned House” tells of the battle of a young man and his uncle against a monstrous presence buried within an abandoned dwelling. At the center of the collection is the novella “At the Mountains of Madness,” in which a team of Antarctic researchers discover remnants of a sprawling, ancient civilization—and the chilling truth of its eventual demise. With Leslie S. Klinger as an indefatigable guide through Lovecraft’s peculiar, spine-tingling universe, and featuring an introduction by award-winning author Tamsyn Muir, At the Mountains of Madness is an essential edition for Lovecraft newcomers and devoted fans alike.
