At The Mountains Of Madness

Professor Dyer of Miskatonic University recounts a fateful trip to Antarctica during which he discovered the dreadful remnants of a lost expedition group. When Dyer finds the lost group’s camp, it is littered with the bodies of the men and their dogs once stationed there. As he investigates the grisly murders and the strange specimens found by the expedition, Dyer realizes there are more powerful beings living amid the mountains than anyone could have possibly imagined.

“At the Mountains of Madness” features many of the mythological horrific beings central to “The Cthulhu Mythos”—a universe created by Lovecraft and subsequent writers like August Derleth that centered around “The Great Old Ones.” The Cthulhu Mythos has become influential in popular culture and has inspired numerous books, comics, films, and games.
