Hello everyone and welcome back to the Dream Cycle Book Club. Today we will discuss the final two parts of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.

Our reading for this week is the first five chapters of At the Mountains of Madness, written in 1931. The first five chapters should put us at around the halfway point of this novella.

I’d call this one Dream Cycle-adjacent, as it features and mentions locations such as Leng and Kadath. It’s also an important story in Lovecraft’s Bibliography, but we’ll cover that during the relevant discussion.

A PDF of the short story is found in the collected works curated by the Arkham Archivist here. A LibriVox audio recording is available here.
