Scientists from Massachusetts' Miskatonic University set out on an expedition to uncharted regions of the Antarctic continent. There, the expedition meets tragedy and its survivors uncover cosmic horrors beyond all measure.
Lovecraft considered At the Mountains of Madness to be his best and most ambitious story. One of his longest tales, this story languished for more than five years before it was first published in Astounding Stories magazine. Our old-time radio adaptation features a cast of professional actors, exciting sound effects and a thrilling original musical score by Troy Sterling Nies (composer for The Call of Cthulhu). Sit down, dim the lights, fire up the wireless and enjoy 77 minutes of exciting Lovecraftian drama, suspense and cosmic horror.
