At the Mountains of Madness is one of the primary expository works about the Old Ones, here dubbed the “Elder Things” by the explorers as they stumble upon more and more evidence. I wouldn't watch a Roman Polanski film in which the protagonist raped a 13-year-old, and the protagonists here often serve as mouthpieces for Lovecraft's racist views (and no, "he was a product of a racist society" does not and should not excuse him). The main human character of the story is Professor Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, who unexpectedly finds his own consciousness linked to that of a Yithian.

If you’re looking for a literary review, I haven’t read all of Lovecraft’s works, so don’t expect that here. It might be just as well that this is the case; the invocation of a reality-warping and vengeance-seeking ‘ancient one’ is probably not the type of s--t that I need going on during my weekend, especially when the alleged banishments of these unfathomable horrors are deemed wholly ineffective.

I totally understand the "Jaws" method of horror, wherein the less you see of the monster, the more effective it is.Now we’re getting into the “Dream Cycle,” a series of works in which Lovecraft explores the supernatural through dreams and the subconscious. That said, I’d really only recommend it for hardcore fans of Lovecraft; for everyone else, there are far better—by which I really mean far shorter—ways to get acquainted with him. Deeply steeped in the Cthulhu mythos, this story is a prime example of how curiosity can kill a cat.
