“The Ridges of Madness” is written in a documentary style of narration. Gradually, as you get used to it, you become a witness to a special reality of the events described. A polar expedition encounters an unimaginable horror from ancient times. The best—nightmarish yet mesmerizing—description in Lovecraft’s works is captured precisely in this story. This is a description of a deserted icy city of the “ancients,” leading down into the bowels of the earth. Design — Pavel Kungurtsev © IvanTheOne
