At the Mountains of Madness: And Other Tales of Terror
by H.P. Lovecraft
This was a slog to get through. I am not a fan of horror, but thought this more classic take on the genre would be a good introduction—even if I were to end up frightened in the end.
The first story (Madness) almost had me set the book down 50 pages in. It got the most interesting to me in the last 10 pages...but it didn’t make up for the whole story being uninteresting to me.
Maybe this selection of work isn’t a good introduction to Lovecraft? Maybe I’m not used to this period of writing? Unknown. But for me, I couldn’t find any of these short stories memorable enough for me to recommend to others.
