Introduction by China MievilleLong 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.

Review of 'At the mountains of madness' on 'Goodreads'

This work is simply disappointing. I was willing to suffer through all those tedious, technical, and dry descriptions at the beginning, hoping that the latter half of the book will be mystical and worthy of madness, but it was not. It was rather uninspired. This story does not justify its length, especially since it felt like Lovecraft spent too much time describing certain things which did not warrant such emphasis, while completely neglecting others that indeed could have used a lot more focus.
