At the Mountains of Madness

By: H. P. Lovecraft

Narrated by: Jim Roberts

Professor William Dyer and his team of scientists travel to Antarctica on a geologic mission but soon tragedy strikes. Their mission then becomes trying to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of some of the members of the expedition. In the process, they uncover the remains of an ancient race of creatures and this discovery leads to a re-thinking of Earth's legacy and beginnings.

A gem of a tale for science fiction horror aficionados, filled with Lovecraft's magnificent descriptions of the region and a great introduction to Lovecraft's mythology of "the Old Ones" and the glories and horrors that preceded humankind, that still linger in far off places today. Lovecraft wrote many stories dealing with the "Cthulhu myth." This one is viewed by many as the most coherent and understandable these stories. It is a genius work or horror and fantasy.

Bleh

Mr. Roberts' narrations are not soothing and dulcid. Too tinny and treble for my taste. His reading is jerky and unstable.
