About this listen

Written before all of Antarctica was fully mapped and explored, At the Mountains of Madness tells of a terrifying journey into the unknown. Epic in scope, cinematic in its sweep, and breathtaking in its revelations about humanity, this—described by some as the first true science-fiction novel—may be Lovecraft’s greatest literary achievement!

Great performance and voice for this title.

Certain performers have a kind of deep, weathered voice, coupled with the realism in their performance to make what they’re saying sound like memory recall, along with the cadence and dynamism to keep delivery entertaining.

Lovecraft’s turn-of-the-century purple prose requires that kind of delivery, and I thought this particular rendition was solid. I’ve read this story a few times myself, and have heard others perform it, but I think this is one of the better renditions, by far.

The story truly is cinematic. I read it like it was a screenplay, and to think Del Toro nearly got a chance to make this, means an instant classic was never made. We can hold out hope he makes it one day.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
