Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 653
Can literature change our real world society? At its foundation, utopian and dystopian fiction asks a few seemingly simple questions aimed at doing just that. Who are we as a society? Who do we want to be? Who are we afraid we might become? When these questions are framed in the speculative versions of Heaven and Hell on earth, you won't find easy answers, but you will find tremendously insightful and often entertaining perspectives.

Aesop, an ancient Greek poet who was sold into slavery in the early sixth century B.C, relied on animal stories to convey his key points to his masters in court. Aesop's Fables are now classic, memorable morality plays in which amusing animal characters drive home thought-provoking morals to generations of listeners and modern day readers. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture yet their appeal lies in logic we still understand.

Four decades after it first shook the nation, then the world, William Peter Blatty's thrilling masterwork of faith and demonic possession returns in an even more powerful form. Raw and profane, shocking and blood-chilling, it remains a modern parable of good and evil and perhaps the most terrifying novel ever written.

Editorial Reviews
The talents of the Atlantic Radio Theatre Company are on full display in this performance of a startling tale of scientific exploration gone awry. By way of a radio interview, Professor Dyer publicly details for the first time the horrors of what actually happened on his expedition to Antarctica in At the Mountains of Madness. This dramatization of the classic H. P. Lovecraft tale is composed of pitch-perfect narration from the radio host, Miss Ashton, whose encouraging voice is able to coax all of the grisly events out of the shaky professor to the graduate student, Danforth, whose enthusiastic and almost naive delivery makes his fate all the more tragic.
Publisher's Summary
This is a full-cast soundscaped audio dramatization of the classic work by one of the masters of horror.

performance was great
Lovecrafts writing style is hard to follow sometimes because he discribes all the scary stuff with third person conversations, but this dramatazation sets a wonderful stage and was really fun to listen to. If you like Lovecraft you will like this story, the recording was fantastic, complete with sound FX and multiple actors.

Classic Lovecraft
This was a good short story in the traditional style of Lovecraft. Full of suspense and looming danger. It again covers the ancient ones and man's interaction with them. Well acted, and entertaining, and still even a little bit scary to listen to in the dark.

Mountains of Madness
The Book itself is a Great litterary achievement and a full drama cast only makes it Better. Written by one of the most influinchal Sci-fi writters of all time, Lovecraft was said to be "The Greatest Horror Writter of the 21st Century"

Thomas E Fuller at his best
A creative liberty taken by having the interview take place in 1946. Given that Lovecraft died in 1937. Although it makes better sense with the change historically and makes it more enjoyable and possibly relatable.
Every Character overflows with life and motivation. You can feel the tension and fear in the voices as things go wrong. The horror when things get worse is stiff with ample shock value. The insanity and sadness of it's ending left me with a strong sense of grief for the surviving characters. Very well written for audio and stayed true to the souce material save for the above liberty taken. Excellent performance of the actors and sound mixers. Thomas E Fuller was brilliant in his day. This particular recording lights a fire of interest in his other work.

Highly Entertaining
I'm a fan of HP Lovecraft and audio dramatizations. I've listened to old radio shows growing up with my father and had The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings on audio cassette. This harkens back to the days of "The Shadow", "War of the Worlds", etc. This gives me as much joy as they did.

This is by far the best radio adaptation of the Mountains of Madness. They do a great job of capturing the feeling and meaning of the original story in a short entertaining performance.
