Book Review of At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror

At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror
reviewed on


I was somewhat disappointed. I guess I thought Lovecraft would be creepier. Today's readers (me?) might be jaded by just how many creepy things already are. I enjoy a cold setting, so the novella (At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror) suited me just fine. Lovecraft sent me repeatedly to my unabridged dictionary and enjoy vocabulary challenge. While some works of his disturb people because of historically biased racism,that was not evident in this volume.
