En las montañas de la locura

Rate this book
En una expedición científica a la Antártida, un grupo de exploradores de la Universidad de Miskatonic descubre ruinas colosales enterradas en el hielo, testigos de una civilización anterior a la humanidad. Pero lo que comienza como un estudio arqueológico pronto se transforma en una pesadilla insondable. Mientras desentierran los restos de unas criaturas grotescas—los Primordiales—los miembros de la expedición desaparecen uno a uno, víctimas de fuerzas más antiguas y terribles de lo que la mente humana puede concebir.

El profesor Dyer, único sobreviviente de la catástrofe, relata con horror lo que ciudades ciclópeas que desafían toda lógica arquitectónica, abominaciones dormidas en el hielo y algo aún más temible acechando en la sombra de las montañas negras que custodian la región. En su desesperado intento por huir, descubrirá que lo peor no son los Primordiales… sino lo que yace más allá de ellos.

algunos conocimientos no están hechos para la humanidad. Y lo que yace en la Antártida no debe ser despertado.

About the author

H.P. Lovecraft

6,109 books19.3k followers
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.

Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.

Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
