Bloody Reads- At The Mountains of Madness

"Bloody Reads" is the horror-focused book club of Bucket O'Blood. I was able to attend their most recent meeting, where we discussed H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness", first published in 1936.

The novella is the firsthand account of an Antarctic scientific expedition that goes awry when the members find remains of an ancient, non-human civilization.

It seems like Lovecraft's influence on modern speculative fiction is something that's being increasingly discussed and scrutinized, so it was particularly rewarding to talk about this story with a large and pretty diverse group of readers. Probably no significant spoilers below, but hey, one never knows.
