“At The Mountains of Madness” tells the first-person tale of geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University in the USA. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to Antarctica. For he has been there and seen the unimaginable horrors that lay beyond the mountains.
“At The Mountains of Madness” was written by HP Lovecraft in 1931, originally a serialised story published in Astounding Stories magazine in the US. While considered by fans to be part of the Cthulhu Mythos stories that HPL is most famous for, some academics argue that the author was actually ‘demythologising’ much of his earlier work. Whichever it is, the story is massively popular, and there are talks of a movie adaptation by Steven Spielberg and Guillermo Del Toro in the offing.
Part 3 - The Great Old Ones
William Dyer, a geologist from Miskatonic University, writes of his incredible experiences whilst exploring Antarctica, in the hope of dissuading a new team from travelling to the same location. With his pilot colleague Danforth, Dyer has discovered the ruins of a gigantic city in the high mountains. While exploring the enormous buildings, they learn of the history of the creatures that lived there, the ‘Great Old Ones’, how they created life, built mighty cities and finally succumbed to the ravages of the ice age.

❤️A dark ambient masterpiece which perfectly captures the essence of Lovecraft's body of work as well as this entity in particular. So much grandeur, mystery, and eeriness with both soothing and maddening textures. Highly recommended! Plushie Fanatic

This is an exceptional horror story with a clear love of Olde English! It is a wonder of terms thought long forgotten under the very thoughtful actor Tom Baker chewing up the "scenery!" A highly recommended listen!! John Roach

This music successfully captures the sensory atmosphere that every work of Cosmic Horror endeavors to induce. Spiritual and philosophical awe encircles a doomful enlightenment.
The blanket of psychic pressure rises, like a swampy tide, as we're consumed into the fathomless mind of the cephalopod god.

Spooky as HELL AND LOVING IT
And I love that they included different actors playing the poor doomed intern...It just comes to show how the very same script is unique in every performance and every single person on the role MarlaHectic
