At the Mountains of Madness (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
At the Mountains of Madness (Fantasy and Horror Classics) | H. P. Lovecraft
6 posts | 17 read | 2 to read
This early work by H. P. Lovecraft was originally published in 1936. Born in 1890 in Rhode Island, USA, Lovecraft began writing at a very young age, quickly developing a deep and abiding interest in science. In 1913, Lovecraft joined the UAPA (United Amateur Press Association) but it was four years later, in 1917, that he began to focus on fiction, producing such well-known early stories as 'Dagon' and 'A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson'. However, it was during the last decade of his life that Lovecraft produced his most notable works, such as 'the Dunwich Horror' and 'The Call of Cthulhu' which subsequently earned him his place as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Finally I managed to re-read my very first Lovecraft ❤️ And I think it was even more intense than the first time. How can Lovecraft turn something incredibly cute (Penguins) into something so scary? Amazing.

Snatched up a second #BookBingo with the tagged read. Found Lovecraft‘s imagination thought-provoking, in good ways as well as bad. But WOW do I hate his writing style 😖

Well. That was a thing I read.

This story could have been really awesome. An expedition to Antarctica that uncovers all sorts of scariness: giant alien creatures and their giant abandoned ancient ruins, a creepy blob thing that might have ended them, 6 ft tall eyeless albino penguins? Sounds fascinating! Unfortunately, our wordy, annoying narrator chooses to focus on the landscape, weather, and general tedium. 🙄

⭐️⭐️

vivastory I find that to be unfortunately true of a lot of Lovecraft...the synopsis makes it sound so much better than it actually is 5y
sprainedbrain @vivastory I have not had any luck with Lovecraft so far. 5y
