At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft

Description

It’s virtually impossible to discuss modern horror without mention of H.P. Lovecraft. The brand of cosmic horror he created one premised on the inconsequentiality of man in the face of otherworldly beings of unimaginable power has influenced countless authors who follow in his considerable wake. At the Mountains of Madness serves as ground zero for much of the mythos Lovecraft created and centers around an arctic expedition gone horribly wrong after the discovery of a lost extraterrestrial race known as Elder Things.
