Before the Mountains of Madness

Howard Phillip Lovecraft was an American author in the early 1900's. Residing in New England for all of his short life, he wrote short stories and novels in a genre he calls "Strange Fiction." This description, from what I've read of his previous works, is completely and totally accurate. His method of description evokes visualization that is, if anything, individual to Lovecraft. The way he puts his visions into words describes things alien and strange, like he's seen things that no other man has. I hope he brings the same visually engaging style to At the Mountains of Madness, the book I plan to read next. I've heard good things about it from Max, and I've read some of his other works in the collection The Call of Cthulhu and Other Strange Stories. I've also heard that this story ties in well with other stories of his, forming a sort of mythos around his body of works, referred to as the Lovecraft Mythos. I look forward to an extension of his already intricate web of supernatural creations. NEXT UP: At the Mountains of Madness.
