At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft

After much reading, I've discovered I prefer the mythos stories not by Lovecraft himself. He emphasizes atmosphere while I am interested in character.

Yeah I really love this one. So what if the author refuses to elaborate on the horrors seen and felt? So what if he keeps repeating that the mountains look like a watercolour by whatisname? Writing full length descriptions is dull work that can be replaced by ✨vibes✨.
10/10 have read before, will read again.

This is my first foray into H.P. Lovecraft, and I must admit that although his writing style requires getting used to, he certainly keeps the reader on the edge of the seat! One can almost taste the sense of foreboding, as the main character delves deeper into an unearthly civilization discovered hidden in the Antarctic.

Okruženje (setting) - 8/10

Nažalost previše naivno sa dugim nepotrebnim opisima koji često knjigu čine dosadnom.

I didn't care for the abrupt transition from the characters reaccounting to the massive lore dump in this book. Also the information was too advanced for the limited scientific analysis of the time and I could no longer suspend my disbelief to enjoy the story written.
