Lovecraft is superb at atmosphere when he brings his A game. At The Mountains of Madness is - in part - so effective because it's in the first person. Get the heebeejeebees first hand. I'll listen by candlelight to Richard Coyle read Lovecraft no matter how many times I've heard it before. His version of ATMOM has just enough sound effects to keep me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next sentence.
