About this book
Professor William Dyer of Miskatonic University has stayed silent long enough. His 1930 Antarctic geological expedition made the most terrifying discovery in human history: a cyclopean city millions of years old, built by star-headed extraterrestrial beings who created all life on Earth. When colleague Lake's splinter party goes silent after unearthing perfectly preserved alien specimens, Dyer and student Danforth fly over the unmapped Mountains of Madness and descend into the ruins. Ancient bas-relief murals tell a cosmic history: the Old Ones bred amorphous slave-creatures called Shoggoths — who eventually rebelled. Deep in the tunnels beneath the frozen city, something still lives. Dyer begs the world: do not go back.
