At the Mountains of Madness

Howard Phillips Lovecraft



Enrique Breccia (illustrations)

«It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train – a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter. Still came that eldritch, mocking cry –“Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!”...»



In the abysses of Antarctica, an expedition from the University of Miskatonic discovers traces of the civilisation of The Elder Things and an abominable secret: millions of years later, their executioners are still at work in the depths of the ice

An aura of horror fills the pages of this nightmare, whose underworld Enrique Breccia once again masterfully illustrates, following his worldwide bestseller Lovecraft.
