At the mountains of madness :
"Originally published from 1920 to 1943"--Title page verso. Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-322). Multi-eyed protoplasmic entities, flesh-eating ghouls, animate corpses, time-traveling body snatchers, and, yes, huge albino penguins. These are some of the bizarre creatures that populate the universe created by American horror author H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft has influenced many of today's most famous writers and artists, including master of contemporary horror fiction Stephen King, Academy Award-nominated director Guillermo Del Toro, and artist and Alien set-designer H.R. Giger. This collection includes three selections from the Cthulhu Mythos: the novella At the Mountains of Madness, which is often considered Lovecraft's masterpiece; The Thing on the Doorstep; and The Shadow Out of Time. While including all the chilling cyclopean vistas, monstrous abominations and appalling transformations that readers have come to expect from Lovecraft, this also showcases his fantasy writing in stories such as The Cats of Ulthar, The Silver Key, and notably The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.
