Sinopsis

Bitternest's favorite radio disc jockey and debunker of supernatural myths Nick Kubrick is on vacation and on his way to Montreal to surprise his big brother. When he gets there, he finds his brother's mailbox overflowing with mail and the lawn hasn't been mowed in weeks. No sign of him anywhere. He decides to stick around town and try to find out where he is. Nick rapidly realizes that the city of Montreal isn't so different from his spooky hometown of Bitternest as a string of bizarre, gruesome murders are shocking the city. After bumping into an old high school buddy named Lance, Nick is invited to a gated community that Lance and his wife designed. It's a postcard-perfect spot, but there is definitely something odd about the place. No one's over forty, there aren't any kids anywhere, and its residents all look like supermodels. Things come full circle when Nick returns to eerie Bitternest and is approached by private eye Jim Coffin who requests his assistance to investigate a series of strange, ghastly murders. Are these murders linked to the ones in Montreal? Meanwhile, a mysterious traveling carnival rolls into town. Nick and Jim are in for a few surprises and when all will be said and done, Nick will never be the same again….

Narrator: Jonathan Dunne
Original Publication: 1936
Public Domain: Yes
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 85 — Part 10 of 12
Description:
In Part Ten of At the Mountains of Madness, the mounting dread gives way to undeniable horror as Dyer and Danforth’s worst suspicions begin to take shape. The clues scattered throughout the ancient city—once ambiguous and easily rationalized—now converge into a terrifying coherence that can no longer be ignored.
What seemed like faint suggestions of recent activity hardens into something far more concrete. The explorers find evidence that the city’s long-slumbering past may not be entirely dormant, and that the forces described in the murals may still exert a presence within the frozen labyrinth.
The oppressive Antarctic silence is shattered by the growing realization that they are not alone. Every echo, every unexplained trace, presses upon their nerves, transforming scientific inquiry into a desperate struggle to comprehend—and survive—the unknown.
In this tenth installment of the 12-part complete audiobook series, Lovecraft drives the narrative toward its harrowing climax, as the line between discovery and danger collapses, and the explorers stand on the brink of encountering something that should have remained forever buried beneath the ice.
