About At the Mountains of Madness:
From adapter and illustrator Gou Tanabe, comes H.P Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. This manga adaptation of some of Lovecraft’s best stories is perfect for manga fans and Lovecraft fans alike. With art resembling more of a western comic book, this book lends itself well as a ‘gateway’ for those who are looking to get into manga!January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica…to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage–some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. Some are missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby…for under its five points is a grave–and what lies beneath is not human!
