jamesjl98 's review for:

At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft
3.0

Reads like a tight little short story that someone inserted 50 pages of tedious world building into in order to lengthen it into a book.

The central concept is interesting and even scary, but marred by lengthy explanations of the way that long dead elder beings like to furnish their houses, and somewhat self-congratulatory references to other Lovecraft creations like Cthulhu, which the reader is presumed to already be familiar with.

Disappointed to have to say I’m glad to be done with it.
