While exploring the at the time largely unknown continent, they discover a chain of mountains higher than the Himalayas. Lovecraft’s story concerns an expedition to Antarctica from Arkham University (where else?). Orlin Tremaine at Astounding Stories, who edited the story severely, excising significant portions. Lovecraft’s agent Julius Schwartz submitted the story to F. He submitted the story to Weird Tales in 1931, but Farnsworth Wright rejected it. We’ll look at them briefly, starting with Lovecraft. I don’t know if this is true, but there are some strong similarities between the stories. I have read somewhere, and it was long enough ago that I don’t recall where, that Campbell may have been inspired to write “Who Goes There?” after reading “At the Mountains of Madness” in Astounding Stories in 1936. Probably because it fit the theme better than AtMoM. That’s not the Lovecraft story in the book, btw. Lovecraft’s “At the Mountains of Madness”. I am going to discuss John Campbell, Jr.’s classic “Who Goes There?”, which is the lead story and the inspiration for the anthology. That will come after I finish reading it. I’m still reading it, so this isn’t going to be a review of the whole book. Ebook $6.99 Amazon, $8.99 publisher’s website
