Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

Yes, Edgar Allan Poe created the words above, but HP Lovecraft filled them with true horror. I am so happy that 'Unshelved' chose an adaptation of HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness to spotlight in their weekly 'booktalk' comic strip. That story sends chills down my spine every time I read it, and I've played through the Chaosium roleplaying module, Beyond the Mountains of Madness, which was horrific not only in what was experienced but in the sheer amount of weekly sessions it took to get through it. If I never actually eat pemmican or wear reindeer fur, I will count myself blessed. :)
