At the Mountains of Madness

Description

At the Mountains of Madness 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. In the central novella, “At the Mountains of Madness”, a team of Antarctic researchers discover remnants of a sprawling, ancient civilisation-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.

Praise for The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, Volumes I and II:

• “Norton’s new volume must surely be the definitive collection. It is meticulously and imaginatively edited, beautifully illustrated and immaculately produced, with a thought-stirring introduction by the graphic novel writer Alan Moore.” – New Statesman
• “Perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring the outer regions of the imagination-and guaranteed to give you the shivers on a cold winter’s night.” – Sarah Vine, Daily Mail
• “Klinger’s depth of knowledge about the world Lovecraft inhabited, and his ability to tease out shades of Lovecraft’s personal experiences in the stories, make this volume the most exciting and definitive collection of Lovecraft’s work out there.” – Danielle Trussoni, The New York Times Book Review
