At the Mountains of Madness

De: H. P. Lovecraft

Narrado por: Jon Bennett

A master of terror and nightmarish visions, H.P. Lovecraft solidified his place at the top of the horror genre with this macabre supernatural tale. When a geologist leads an expedition to the Antarctic plateau, his aim is to find rock and plant specimens from deep within the continent. The barren landscape offers no evidence of any life form—until they stumble upon the ruins of a lost civilization. Strange fossils of creatures unknown to man lead the team deeper, where they find carved stones dating back millions of years. But it is their discovery of the terrifying city of the Old Ones that leads them to an encounter with an untold menace. Deliberately told and increasingly chilling, At the Mountains of Madness is a must-have for every fan of classic terror.

It's very atmospheric and well told story

The voice of the performer fits the tone and period the story is based in

My One Audible Title So Far; No Regrets

If you know and love Lovecraft, this is an excellent recording. I often fall asleep to it, and I really appreciate it for that, but it's also an excellent book in its own right, if a little slow by modern standards.

don't know why this is such a popular book

just an average story from a great writer. it doesn't get interesting until half way through, and then just marginally entertaining. reader was mostly monotone.
