At the Mountains of Madness

<div><B>The first story set in the fishing village of Kingsport, which is featured in the later works of the one of the greatest horror writers of all time.</B><BR />  <BR /> It is rumored that the mysterious old man who lives alone in the small New England town was once a sea captain. It is also rumored that he is hoarding a treasure. When three robbers decide to steal it, they will encounter a bloodthirsty evil unlike any they ever imagined . . .<BR />  <BR /> &ldquo;<I>The Terrible Old Man</I> is the story of three career criminals looking to rob the eponymous character, an eccentric retired mariner so ancient that no one alive remembers his youth. . . . This is also the first story set in the fictional New England geography that Lovecraft will detail over the course of future writing. . . . So, what we see in these stories is Lovecraft beginning to construct the alternate world which will be the home to his most famous works, at least as much a unifying element of the author&rsquo;s oeuvre as those details subsequent writers and critics have defined as the &lsquo;Cthulhu Mythos.&rsquo; As such, <I>The Terrible Old Man</I> is not only an effective piece of eerie storytelling, it is also an important stepping stone in the development of a bigger Lovecraftian world.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>The Blood-Shed</I><BR />  <BR /> &ldquo;A piece of minimalist brushwork, with most of the narrative suggested by negative space . . . In sharp contrast to the central Mythos tales, the horror is allusive and oblique, the violence kept off-stage.&rdquo; &mdash;Tor.com</div>
