However, Lovecraft was displeased, as this book was riddled with errors that required extensive editing. It sold slowly and only approximately 200 copies were bound.

At the Mountains of Madness is a science-fiction horror novella by the American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931.Rejected that year by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright on the grounds of its length, [1] it was originally serialized in the February, March, and April 1936 issues of Astounding Stories.

[2] In the tale, an unnamed narrator pieces together the story of an area known by the locals as the "blasted heath" (most likely after a line from either Milton's Paradise Lost or Shakespeare's Macbeth) [3] in the hills west of the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts.
