About this listen
At the Mountains of Madness tells the first-person tale of geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University in the USA. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. For he has been there and seen the unimaginable horrors that lay beyond the mountains.
At the Mountains of Madness was written by HP Lovecraft in 1931, originally a serialised story published in Astounding Stories magazine in the US. While considered by fans to be part of the Cthulhu Mythos stories that HPL is most famous for, some academics argue that the author was actually ‘demythologising’ much of his earlier work.
Whichever it is, the story is massively popular, and there are talks of a movie adaptation by Steven Spielberg and Guillermo Del Toro in the offing. This 2010 adaptation comprises 5 episodes, originally aired on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and offered here in exclusive Extended Editions.

Scary stuff!
Kept me awake at night. Great classic horror.
Lovecraft's vision of Cosmic Horror is seldom expressed so well, and this is one of his best stories. It's only drawback is the archaic language of the style, but the amazing, dark presentation makes up for any dryness.

This is the best redition of this story on here, the narrator's voice with the inclusion of sound effects and music makes it a terrific and terrifying read!

I’m not a HP Lovecraft fan
I tried listening to this. The narrator was good as so was the fx and music but lovecrafts writing isn’t for me. I found it hard to understand and it just dragged on.

Incomplete version
I have read the book previously and this narration is missing, vast, paragraphs and chunks of the story. Very disappointing.
