Arkham, 1933. Professor Dyer, a prominent geologist, learns that a scientific expedition will soon leave for Antarctica following in the footsteps of the journey which he himself had made in 1931. In the hope of dissuading the attempt, Dyer decides to make a full account of the tragic events he had survived, this time without omitting the passages which he had kept silent about on his return, for fear of being taken for a madman. Two years earlier, ships chartered by Miskatonic University had landed on the frozen continent at the start of the Antarctic summer, and the group of four professors and sixteen students set to work immediately. The expedition biologist, Professor Lake, left with several members of the team to follow a promising fossil track. After just a few days, he announced by radio that he had discovered astonishing specimens of an unknown ancient species, before stopping all communication after a terrible storm. Guessing the worst, Dyer went to their rescue the next day. What he discovered went beyond his wildest fears ... In the illustrated AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS VOL.1, artist, Francois Baranger, acclaimed for his work as a concept designer for cinema and video games, has performed the incredible task of reimagining one of H. P. Lovecraft's most classic and horrific tales into visual art-- Landscapes of frozen wastes, unspeakable creatures millions of years old found in an abnormal state of conservation, strange geometric structures at the top of black mountains. Words cannot do the visuals justice. It is a book with images to pour over.

Terra australis, Antarktis, Etelämanner, viimeinen tuntematon. Miskatonicin yliopiston retkikunta matkaa tutkimaan Etelämannerta, mutta heitä odottavat tragedia, kauhu ja ihmeelliset paljastukset. Kadonneen rodun kaupungista, jäisen autiomaan keskeltä löytyvät salaisuudet ovat omiaan järkyttämään ihmiskunnan perimmäisiä käsityksiä maailmankaikkeudesta ja omasta paikastaan siinä. Kauhun mestarin H. P. Lovecraftin (1890-1937) kosminen tieteiskauhu saavuttaa lakipisteensä tässä mestariteoksessa. Vuosimiljoonien takaiset salaisuudet paljastetaan taitavasti kertoen ja aste asteelta kierroksia lisäten, kunnes viimein lukijan eteen avautuu äärimmäinen kauhu. Hulluuden vuorilla on yksi nykyisen kauhukulttuurin pohjakiviä. Sen pohjalta on syntynyt muun muassa John Carpenterin kauhuelokuvan klassikko The Thing (1982) sekä monia muita teoksia. Lauri Latun käännös perustuu Lovecraftin alkuperäiseen käsikirjoitukseen, jonka S. T. Joshi on rekonstruoinut englanniksi. Käännöstä täydentävät Latun alaviitteet sekä esipuhe ja kattavat jälkisanat, joissa syvennytään muun muassa muinaisten biologisiin ominaisuuksiin ja tarinaa inspiroineisiin teoksiin.

Rheinhart Kleiner was one of H. P. Lovecraft's oldest colleagues, having come into epistolary contact with him in 1915. These two amateur journalists were both devoted to poetry, and their extensive discussions of verse writing provide glimpses into Lovecraft's extensive poetry writing during his early years in the amateur journalism movement. Lovecraft also wrote a long autobiographical letter to Kleiner in 1916, supplying little-known details about his ancestry, early life, and writings. Other correspondents in this volume shed further light into Lovecraft's wide-ranging involvement with amateur journalism. Arthur Harris was a Welsh amateur publisher with whom Lovecraft stayed in touch for nearly the entirety of his adult life. James Larkin Pearson was a poet who asked for Lovecraft's assistance in the compilation of his poetical works. Paul J. Campbell was a longtime amateur writer and editor who was associated with W. Paul Cook. Having lost a leg through an accident, he founded the Fraternity of the Wooden Leg. This volume also contains some intriguing letters with Winifred Virginia Jackson, with whom Lovecraft seems to have carried on a sporadic romance around 1920. In addition, there are a small batch of letters and postcards to Arthur Leeds, one of the lesser-known members of the Kalem Club. As with other volumes in this series, the letters are printed unabridged and have been extensively annotated. A multitude of texts by the correspondents are provided to supply background on their life and work.

Featuring new stories specially commissioned for the collection this offering of H. P. Lovecraft's shared universe is a thrilling immersion into the world of Old Ones and the Elder Gods, an ancient race of terrifying beings. In Lovecraft's vision we live in a deep, but fragile illusion, unable to comprehend the ancient beings, such as the Cthulhu who lies dead but dreaming in the submerged city of R'lyeh, waiting to rise then wreak havoc on our realm of existence. Lovecraft used the mythos to create a background to his fiction, and challenged many writer companions to add their own stories. Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Frank Belknap Long, Henry Kuttner were amongst the first but over the years many others such as Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter and August Derleth added their voices to the many mythic cycles, developing themes and new fictional pathways for the town of Arkham, and the creatures Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. The Lovecraft Mythos is fertile ground for any writer of supernatural, horror, fantasy and science fiction, so for this edition we opened our submissions for brand new stories, many published here for the first time, to continue expanding the shared universe. New, contemporary and notable writers featured are: Hal Bodner, Evey Brett, Ramsey Campbell, Helen E. Davis, JG Faherty, Cody Goodfellow, Rachael K. Jones, Scott R. Jones, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Nancy Kilpatrick, N. R. Lambert, Victor LaValle, Thana Niveau, John Possidente, John Llewellyn Probert, Mark Samuels, William Browning Spencer, R. S. Stefoff, Jonathan Thomas, Donald Tyson and Douglas Wynne.
