Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - H.P. Lovecraft's chilling masterpiece, 'At the Mountains of Madness,' plunges readers into the desolate, frozen landscape of Antarctica, where a scientific expedition stumbles upon a horrifying secret buried beneath the ice. This landmark work of horror and science fiction explores the terrifying implications of cosmic horror and the insignificance of humanity in the face of ancient, unknowable powers. Driven by a thirst for knowledge, the team unearths evidence of elder beings, a race of alien entities that once dominated the Earth. As they delve deeper into the mysteries of a cyclopean city carved in stone, they uncover a truth so profound and terrifying that it threatens their sanity and challenges everything they thought they knew about the history of life itself. This carefully prepared print edition offers a timeless journey into the heart of Lovecraftian horror, a genre-defining exploration of the unknown and the monstrous.

Wraps. Zustand: Fair. Howard V. Brown (Cover Painting) (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 6.875 inches by 9.75 inches. 162 pages counting covers. Front and back covers worn, torn, soiled, and chipped. Spine taped. Part of edges gone. Astounding Stories is the common name of the first few decades of a major American science fiction magazine. Astounding Stories began publishing in 1930 as Astounding Stories of Super Science. Names in subsequent years included Astounding Stories and Astounding Science Fiction. The first actively copyright-renewed issue is October 1933 (v. 12 no. 2). The first actively copyright-renewed contribution is from March 1934 (v. 13 no. 1). The magazine was renamed Analog in 1960, and is still published under that name by Dell Magazines. The contents include Feature Serial Novel The skylark of Valeron which contains new thought-variant concepts by Edward R. Smith, Ph.D.; Stratosphere Towers A great story of achievement by Nat Schachner; Warriors of Eternity Peregoy two new science-fiction writers Carl Buchanan and Dr. Arch Carr; De. Conklin--Pacifist by Calvin Peregoy' Around in Space by David O. Woodbury; The Last Men by Frank Belknap Long, Hr.; Beyond the Spectrum by Arthur Leo Zagat; The Legion of Space (Part Five) by Jack Williamson; Fact Feature Serial LO! (Part Five) by Charles Ford. David O. Woodbury (1896-1981) US author who began to publish work of genre interest with "The Electric Snare" in Astounding for July 1934, about the Invention of a deadly Ray; in Mr Faraday's Formula: A Dean Riam Suspense Story (1965) enemy agents steal a Gravity-control device. Inspired by the success of Hugo Gernsback's Amazing Stories, Clayton Publishing Co. released, in January of 1930, the first issue of Astounding Stories. Early issues lacked much of Gernsback's attention to the scientific and extrapolative possibilities of the SF genre, and instead featured many instances of stock, pulp adventure yarns simply transplanted into exotic or alien environments. While possibly a travesty in the eyes of SF purists, it attracted many SF fans and general pulp readers, and aided Astounding's first three years of survival, until its cancellation during the height of the Great Depression in March of 1933. Thankfully, the departure was short-lived; the pulp industry giant Street & Smith Corp. purchased the title, and in October 1933 Astounding Stories returned. The stock adventure stories that had appeared previously were replaced, with what editor F. Orlin Tremaine dubbed "thought-variants:" stories that were just as interesting and exciting, but also held some scientific or technological truth at their core. This approachcombining the adventure of the pulps with the ideas of Gernsbackian extrapolationin addition to the social, political and introspective elements increasingly incorporated by its authors' stories, would help define Astounding in the coming years. In other words, it was no longer an Amazing Stories clone, or an adventure magazine masquerading as SF, but a unique addition to the growing stable of SF literature. In May of 1938, John Wood Campbell, a writer and assistant editor under Tremaine, took over the editorship of Astounding Stories; Cambell would hold this post for thirty-three yearsa remarkable tenure in itselfduring which time he helped shape science fiction literature for many more decades to come. Honoring Tremaine's "thought-variants," Campbell wanted stories that were "from the view of a man involved in the events . . . rather than . . . a story of a gadget," as Lester del Rey described Campbell's approach. One was more likely to find a rookie starship crewman or hitherto unrecognized scientific prodigy as the protagonist of a Campbell story, as opposed to the ace space captain or world-renowned physicist that had made up the bulk of SF heroes dating back to the days of Gernsback. As Campbell wrote in an editorial, "It is the man, not the idea or machine that is the essence [of SF]." Continuing an Astounding tradition that had dated back to its inception,

Continuing an Astounding tradition that had dated back to its inception, Campbell paid top dollar, on time, to his authors.
