At the Mountains of Madness is a novella by H.P. Lovecraft, an American writer of ´´cosmic´´ horror, fantasy and sci-fi, particularly in the subgenre known as ´´weird fiction.´´ Weird fiction incorporated the supernatural, mythical, and scientific into a unique form which predated ´´niche´´ genre fiction. This story, which was originally serialized in 1936, features the ´´de-mythology´´ of the Cthulhu mythos, which describe ancient extra-dimensional beings whose powers are vast and terrifying. It is told from the perspective of William Dyer, a geologist and professor at Miskatonic University. His manuscript reveals the horrible secrets of ´´The Old Ones´´ in an attempt to deter a highly-publicized expedition to Antarctica. Lovecraft´s brilliance as a horror writer lies in his defiance of the old standards of ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. It´s the peripheral description of his creatures, rather, whose powers are almost unimaginable, that leave the reader with a cosmic, spiritual and intellectual sense of doom. For example, that which makes the creature in this tale so horrifying is their arbitrary loathing of humankind - they couldn´t care less whether we lived or died; but much like a puny bug, if we get in their way we will be killed without a thought. No silver bullets, no crosses, no wooden stakes will save you from terrifying creatures of the Lovecraft´s ´´Cthulhu´´ fiction.
