![]() ![]() One of the most complete feeling Lovecraft stories, but still falls into the trap of being a post-event narration which although a common contemporary format to Lovecraft, serves to diffuse most of the tension of the story itself. The cosmic horror is supposed to come from the revelations of powerful forces beyond our comprehension hiding beneath a thin veil of ignorance, ready to reclaim the earth and level mankind's petty accomplishments. Unfortunately for the horror, the eldritch horror at the core of this story is sympathetic, and even the narrator points this out. Reading this as part of [b:The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft|11851522|The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327886768s/11851522.jpg|16807494] Lovecraft's style of horror, at least in this novella, is not to my tastes. I didn't find it scary or that horrifying but rather somewhat dull. There was too much "it was so horrible I can't bring myself to say..." so that the big reveal came more as a yawn than a shriek. I bet that a pretty scary film could be made from this though! Troço assustador demais!!! Crítica | Nas Montanhas da Loucura, de H. P.

HTML: The only audio edition of At the Mountains of Madness authorized by the H. P. Lovecraft Estate! A master of terror and nightmarish visions, H. P. Lovecraft solidified his place at the top of the horror genre with this macabre supernatural tale. When a geologist leads an expedition to the Antarctic plateau, his aim is to find rock and plant specimens from deep within the continent. The barren landscape offers no evidence of any life-form??until they stumble upon the ruins of a lost civilization. Strange fossils of creatures unknown to man lead the team deeper, where they find carved stones dating back millions of years. But it is their discovery of the terrifying city of the Old Ones that leads them to an encounter with an untold menace. Deliberately told and increasingly chilling, At the Mountains of Madness is a must-have for every fan of classic terror. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
