Long recognized as a master of the nightmarish vision, H.P. Lovecraft established the authenticity and dignity of his own pioneering story in 1931, with its epitome of supernatural terror in the mountains of madness. The deliberate and increasingly frightening memory of the strange discoveries of an Antarctic expedition and its encounter with an incalculable threat in the ruins of a lost civilization is a milestone in macabre literature.
