Cthulhu is one such god, lurking deep beneath the sea until called into being by cult followers who – like all humans – know not what they do.

H.P. Lovecraft never found fame during his lifetime and died in 1937 in relative obscurity. But in the decades that followed his death, his importance as a unique and original visionary in the genre of science fantasy and 'weird fiction' has grown monumentally, so that even talents such as author Stephen King and film-maker John Carpenter have described him as a prime influence upon their creative lives. Here, then, is a selection of his stories.

Summary
At the Mountains of Madness tells the first-person tale of geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University in the USA. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. For he has been there and seen the unimaginable horrors that lay beyond the mountains.
At the Mountains of Madness was written by HP Lovecraft in 1931, originally a serialised story published in Astounding Stories magazine in the US. While considered by fans to be part of the Cthulhu Mythos stories that HPL is most famous for, some academics argue that the author was actually ‘demythologising’ much of his earlier work.
Whichever it is, the story is massively popular, and there are talks of a movie adaptation by Steven Spielberg and Guillermo Del Toro in the offing. This 2010 adaptation comprises 5 episodes, originally aired on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and offered here in exclusive Extended Editions.

Great read of a classic.
This is by far the best audiobook version of this story ive listened to and there are some out there. The narrator really captures the mystery feel and takes the reader through the best forbidden archeology story that started them all. If you never read the book but love south pole mysteries this is for you. If youre a fan of the book youll love this.
A story that clearly inspired john carpenter or john campbell for The Thing too. Brilliant.

Atmospheric – music not an issue
This is Lovecraft in science fiction rather than horror mode, though some passages are unpleasant enough. Not his finest work, though it has echoes of Poe and Jules Verne. It is ably performed by Richard Coyle, who contributes greatly to the atmosphere of the piece. Many reviewers have found fault with the near-constant music in this performance, but I didn't find it distracting or over-loud. This is one of the more professional Lovecraft recordings on Audible and is well worth hearing.

Brilliant in story and production value
Where does At the Mountains of Madness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best IMHO. The production values are the best you can get for HP Lovecraft audio retellings. The narration is top notch and the background music and eerie sound effects that provide for and set the mood of a disturbingly desolate landscape (for which this story relies upon for its setting) is fantastic beyond words, again IMHO. As for the story well it's one of HP Lovecraft's best works and part of the awesome Cthulhu mythos.
What was one of the most memorable moments of At the Mountains of Madness?
The entire story is memorable however if I had to pick a point in the story I'd say it's chapter 2 and beyond in this audio tale because this is when you get into the meat of the story and the disturbing and fascinating Cthulhu mythos.
What does Richard Coyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His narration and pattern of speech for this story sets the perfect mood and tempo for this audio tale. This audio tale puts the listener on a path that demonstrates the greatness of HP Lovecraft's work. Alongside the chilling feeling you get from listening to this wonderfully fascinating yet disturbing story that is very well produced and delightfully narrated.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Gothic Horror Sci-Fi
Any additional comments?
I want more from this producer and performer. Richard Coyle is awesome. Additionally if he were to be paired up with say Wayne June (voice actor from another series of HP Lovecraft narrations) in seperate piece of work dedicated to narrating HP's works using the same production values well then I'd be in Cthulu heaven (if there is a such a thing.).
Again, I can't stress enough how the eerie (but never gaudy) background music and sound fx's only add to the wonderful narration and both create a true theater of the mind that sets the mood and tempo for this wickedly disturbing and chilling work by HP Lovecraft.

An essential to the cthulhu mythos.
Firstly, the readers performance in this and his reading of the shadow over innsmouth was outstanding. These audio books are also a perfect example of how an orchestral track should be used to improve a recording. the addition of radio static, and howling arctic winds during parts of the story made for a very immersive experience. As for the story itself, it contains important history regarding the old ones, as well as a first hand encounter with the thing that should not be, making this an essential listen for any fan of the cthulhu mythos.

Abridged, inconsistent audio
Apparently this is an abridged version of the book, which they tell you atvthe very end. Some of the nonsense narrative leaps may stem from this. There are parts meant to sound like its coming over a 1930s radio, which makes it quiet and hard to hear.

This is a stunning, brilliantly performed abridged reading.

I can only hope there will be more done in this manner, preferably all with Mr. Coyle’s considerable talent giving them voice. Highly recommended.

Creepy As Advertised
This audio book was homework for me- preparation to run a Call of Cthulhu game for Halloween. I've long been fascinated by the game, and wanted to read this particular piece as it inspired the highly regarded Beyond The Mountains of Madness campaign book. It did not disappoint. The story is riveting, and presented as a first person narrative by a narrator who does manage to convey the urgency and horror of the tale while trying desperately to remain calm and believable by his listeners. I loved it.

An excellent, quick shot of eldritch horror
I don't normally like abridged productions, but this one was excellent. Richard Coyle is a fabulous narrator.
