"At the Mountains of Madness"

    The subject for my blog is the short novel "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P Lovecraft.  I am choosing this story because it is my first story I read written by H.P Lovecraft and I love his horror stories.  This story in particular takes place in Antarctica and involves a team of scientists from the Miskatonic University in Rhode Island.  The scientists uncover an ancient alien horror hidden beneath the ice and few survive the encounter.  It is also the basis of a great horror movie called "The Thing" by John Carpenter.  Later on in my posts I plan on comparing the movie with Lovecraft's story.  Read on into my posts if you dare...
