At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft

In this chilling tale, an Antarctic expedition led by Dr. William Dyer from Miskatonic University uncovers ancient, alien ruins and a dangerous secret that forces them to question their understanding of the universe and their own sanity. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they encounter remnants of a prehistoric, monstrous civilization, which they believe could have been the original creators of life on Earth. The story is filled with Lovecraft's signature cosmic horror and themes of forbidden knowledge, non-human influences on humanity, and the insignificance of humans in the universe.
