![]() ![]() Best of all, it’s almost a "perfect" Lovecraft story, combining everything that makes Lovecraft … well, ‘Lovecraftian:’ constant impending dread, mysteries beyond time and space, characters driven to the brink of - and then beyond - insanity, science knocking at the doors of the nightmarish unknown, and tantalizing clues to a star-and-time-spanning mythology. So much so that a comprehensive review has also to mention every other review, and so on and so forth ad infinitum.īut putting aside the difficulty of a review, and every other review, At the Mountains of Madness is still a brilliantly told horror story. ![]() What makes it doubly difficult is that so many others have tried: Lovecraft’s probably been analyzed and dissected more than any other fantasy author. Lovecraft book is - to paraphrase that old chestnut - like singing about food, or writing about music. ![]()
