At the mountains of madness and other novels

Professor Dyer of Miskatonic University recounts a fateful trip to Antarctica during which he discovered the dreadful remnants of a lost expedition group. When Dyer finds the lost group's camp, it is littered with the bodies of the men and their dogs once stationed there. As he investigates the grisly murders and the strange specimens found by the expedition, Dyer realizes there are more powerful beings living amid the mountains than anyone could have possibly imagined.

  • "Modern Illustrated Edition. The story is told in first-person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor at Miskatonic University. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. On a previous expedition there, scholars from Miskatonic University led by Dyer discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains higher than the Himalayas. A smaller advance group led by Professor Lake discovered and crossed the mountains and found the remains of 14 ancient life forms, completely unknown to science and unidentifiable as either plants or animals. Six of the specimens are badly damaged and the others uncannily pristine. Their highly evolved features are problematic: their stratum location puts them at a point on the geologic time scale much too early for such features to have naturally evolved yet..... Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 - March 15, 1937) - known as H. P. Lovecraft - was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction. Lovecraft's guiding aesthetic and philosophical principle was what he termed "cosmicism" or "cosmic horror", the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally inimical to the interests of humankind. As such, his stories express a profound indifference to human beliefs and affairs. Lovecraft is best known for his Cthulhu Mythos story cycle and the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore."

  • "A tale of terror unilke any other. The barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless--or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures ... and the carved stones tens of millions of years old ... and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of the City of the Old Ones."@en
