A fun footnote for anyone geologically inclined - the mentioned "Comanchian" period is no longer recognized, it was split up between the Triassic and Jurassic. The fact that Lovecraft mentioned it at all speaks to the fact that he knew his stuff for the time - all his geological mentions are pretty well researched.

[@thumbhead3370]

Also, he mentions continental drift which was not widely accepted at the time by the public.

[@Driven2Beers]

​@@thumbhead3370Indeed. Wegener, at the time that this was written, was lumped in with pseudoscientists such as Velikovsky.

[@paulcoy9060]

Fun fact: "Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!" is Shoggoth for "You fool, Warren is dead!"

[@mattisvov]

"They where men!" I think this is one of my favorite Lovecraft stories how he explicitly humanizes one of his creatures. First, for hours and hours, the Elder Things are presented as monsters, terrors. Then, at the very end, the narrator suddenly sympathizes with them: Despite their weird shape and nigh indestructibility, they are a biologic life form like us, with an intelligence not unlike our own, and quite relatable drives and motivations. That is a brilliant literary device: comparative horror. First show them as eldrich, alien and powerful. And then point out there are things that are scarier to them then they are to us. The entire narrative is written as a warning. But I don't think the narrator wanted to warn about the Elder Things, or even the Shoggoths. No, I think he wants to warn about the mountain to the south. And the things these immortal, antedeluvian monstrosites where TOO SCARED TO TALK ABOUT.

[@kevinfogle7929]

I really wish he had written a follow up story about that.

[@donaldmccleary9015]

​@Kevin Fogle me too. I think he meant to, but got sick and died before he could. My goodness, it would have been great.

[@donaldmccleary9015]

Great comment. I noticed that, too. I find it amazing that they fought many of the other creatures Lovecraft wrote about. Even more interesting is how they won some of the wars and had a truce, in their favor, from the others. They beat the Mi-Go and Cthulhu star spawn and drove them back. That is an amazing feat. Even cooler is how they fought with energy weapons, as told by the stories in the bas-reliefs. Imagine the terror in the camp when they woke up seeing their fellows being dissected. Such chaos!

[@arancourt5623]

He has a point, put yourself in the elder things position. You were caught in some catastrophic event, woke up surrounded by strange alien creatures that would undoubtedly be trying to kill you and have already dissected one of your companions, you fight free, try to understand just wtf is happening and try to get home only to find the entire world you once knew is gone. How would you react in such a circumstance?

Also his extreme detail of the old ones biology is amazing, clearly a very learned man wrote this story

[@kevinfogle7929]

I do too. He mentions speaking to a fellow professor that is in the English department about the hill things, a reference to the whisperer in the darkness

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

It really helps with building a complex mythos. The stories aren't on their own, they are part of a shared world. People in them acknowledge that events from other stories happened, but it doesn't move the focus on there. As if those events are part of semi-common knowledge in that world. Or at least among those people dabbling in the mysterious.

[@MikeyJBlakeJR]

His ability to describe absolutely everything-regardless of the subject matter-makes you think these were written by actual professionals who deal with those things.

This is my single favorite "short" story of all time. It just blends so many styles of narrative, scope of context, dramatic and horrifying twists and turns, all wrapped up in a tasteful blend of science and occultism. I heard that Guillermo del toro wanted to make it a movie, had the rights and stuff all set, but the studio pulled the plug. It's tragic, I have never wanted a movie adaptation so bad in my life, and Guillermo would have been one of my top picks to direct it

I absolutely love this story, like really love this story. There are, some details that I wish were more defined, and some plot holes I wish were more accurate and more specific. All in all I would say that "At the mountains of madness" is probably my third favorite book behind "Jane Eyre" and "Bram Stokers Dracula." Oh yeah by the way, "The things that came from Winters Hill," was pretty nice as well. The one thing I noticed about a lot of these stories is that they are very vague when it comes to the wonder of the story, and it always disappoints me. I guess I like iron clad facts about my cosmic entities.

Really like that you take the time to slow down when you're speaking. Much easier to pay attention.

I lost a friend to opiates today, so I really needed this distraction to ponder over and bring my mind to somewhere else. Fantastic reading mate!

[@gonzaloayalaibarre]

This is one of my favourite stories, I have listened to at least 3 different readings of it, including your old one. Alas, awful timing, I've never been so occupied in my entire life as I've been in the last couple weeks, it will be some time before I'm able to enjoy this one.

[@HorrorBabble]

It won't be going anywhere - thanks Gonzalo!
