O texto narra a experiência de um veterano da Primeira Guerra Mundial, que, após ser capturado por forças inimigas, escapa, ficando à deriva, até que um dia acorda em uma vastidão lamacenta que emergiu do oceano — um cenário desolado e antinatural. Explorando essa terra recém-surgida, ele se depara com um monólito colossal coberto de hieróglifos estranhos e presencia o surgimento de uma criatura monstruosa, de aspecto anfíbio e ancestral.

This particularly chilling short story was inspired by a trip that Lovecraft made with Rheinhart Kleiner to the 18th-century Dutch Reformed Church on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn - and to its adjacent graveyard, full of grave markers dating from the mid-1700s. While there, Lovecraft pocketed a piece of one of the grave markers; and it set him to thinking about the possibilities of a story plot in which a vengeful tomb-denizen, resenting a similar act of souvenir-taking, claws its way out of the grave to track down the desecrator.

This story takes place in the ancient valley of Nis, in vegetation-covered stone ruins described by Lovecraft in great detail. These crumbling blocks of monolithic stone now serve only for grey toads and snakes to nest under. Interspersed in the ruins are large trees that are home to little apes. Through the bottom of this valley runs the great, slimy red river called Than. "Memory" involves only two characters: "the Genie that haunts the moonbeams" and "the Daemon of the Valley".

HP Lovecraft era sicuramente uno scrittore visionario, uno dei padri dell’horror esattamente come lo conosciamo oggi, anche se lui mai avrebbe immaginato il successo riscosso. "Le montagne della follia", un romanzo ambientato in Antartide e che ha dato voce a una storia veramente avvincente, che porta una spedizione scientifica ad indagare sui resti di una civiltà che dopo un lungo periodo di ibernazione torna in vita. Tutto questo porta i protagonisti a vivere un avventura veramente da incubo che li spingerà sull'orlo della follia.
