false 32769 6 A complete short novel, AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS is a tale of terror unilke any other. The Barren, windswept interior of the Antarctic plateau was lifeless--or so the expedition from Miskatonic University thought. Then they found the strange fossils of unheard-of creatures...and the carved stones tens of millions of years old...and, finally, the mind-blasting terror of the City of the Old Ones. Three additional strange tales, written as only H.P. Lovecraft can write, are also included in this macabre collection of the strange and the weird. 33559 book 1964 At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror total:1393|5:583|4:473|3:264|2:57|1:16| 1393 5729 1854 87 4 2 false false Tue Aug 21 13:40:41 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 21 20:08:32 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 19:12:59 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 12 19:20:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 16:41:28 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 16:45:19 -0700 2007
