A caballo entre el género de terror y la ciencia-ficción, En las montañas de la locura es uno de los escasos relatos largos de ese extraño fundador de religiones, divinidades y cosmogonías que fue H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). Se centra en el viaje en 1930 de un grupo de científicos a la Antártida para realizar varios experimentos. Durante la aventura, hallan una cordillera montañosa de grandes dimensiones y encuentran lo que consideran vestigios de una civilización avanzada y compleja. Enmarcado en el ciclo de los mitos de Cthulhu, describe la historia de los Primordiales desde su llegada a la Tierra, en medio de las tinieblas primigenias, hasta su supuesta desaparición.

Work Description
Introduction by China MievilleLong acknowledged as a master of nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft established the genuineness and dignity of his own pioneering fiction in 1931 with his quintessential work of supernatural horror, At the Mountains of Madness. The deliberately told and increasingly chilling recollection of an Antarctic expedition's uncanny discoveries--and their encounter with untold menace in the ruins of a lost civilization--is a milestone of macabre literature. This exclusive new edition, presents Lovecraft's masterpiece in fully restored form, and includes his acclaimed scholarly essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature." This is essential reading for every devotee of classic terror.From the Trade Paperback edition.
