At the Mountains of Madness

Deep in the icy wastes of Antarctica, a scientific expedition stumbles upon the ruins of an ancient, alien city buried beneath the ice—its vast, non-human architecture whispering of an age before mankind. As they decipher strange hieroglyphs and uncover long-forgotten horrors, they realize the city's builders were not the first to inhabit this frozen land. Something older, something vast and malevolent, still lingers in the dark tunnels beneath the ice, waiting to be disturbed. A cornerstone of cosmic horror, At the Mountains of Madness is H. P. Lovecraft’s chilling masterpiece of scientific dread and existential terror. Blending adventure, mystery, and horror, this novella unveils a vision of the unknown that lingers long after the final page.

H.P. LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], born in Providence, Rhode Island, was an American writer known for his horror, fantasy, and science fiction stories. Both of Lovecraft's parents suffered from mental illness, which greatly influenced his youth. He began writing at an early age but had a limited readership during his lifetime. Today, Lovecraft is regarded as an icon of popular culture and is considered one of the most influential and innovative horror writers of the 20th century, often compared to Edgar Allan Poe.
