A review by shelgraves
At the Mountains of Madness: And Other Tales of Terror by H.P. Lovecraft

For writers: an example of a highly imitable style, very little dialogue, and the use of many adverbs and adjectives.

Prepare for: grotesque penguins, insane graves, monstrous mounds, alien exoticism, viscous agglutinations, opalescent haze, igneous manifestations, cryptical darkness, blasphemous tunnels, austral worlds, and degenerate murals

Pairs well with: Edgar Allen Poe's Arthur Gordon Pym and Victoria Nelson's The Secret Life of Puppets

Quotes:

"Perhaps we were mad - for have I not said those horrible peaks were mountains of madness?" Yes, many times actually!

"Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star spawn - whatever they had been, they were men!"

Last line: "Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"
