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.
