sigurdas 's review for:

At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft

5.0

---

There are bad writers, there are OK writers, there are good writers... and then there is a small group: the Masters of writing. And Lovecraft is one of them. Reading At the Mountains of Madness and his other stories is a vivid, lucid, almost hallucinogenic experience. His language use is so bizarelly rich and the atmosphere of his stories is so tense and dreadful that it is no wonder that Lovecraft creations gave birth to the whole cult of followers... maybe Lovecraft is the cosmic entity of the Cthulhu cult, and we are "confronted by powers and intelligences from beyond our world"?
