Korte beschrijving/Annotatie

Horror- en sciencefictionverhaal, gesitueerd in 1930 op Antarctica. Een wetenschappelijke expeditie van Miskatonic University trekt met boortechnologie de bevroren wildernis in om fossielen en geologische geheimen te onderzoeken. Achter een bergketen ontdekken de onderzoekers de niet-Euclidische ruïnes van een megalithische stad, miljoenen jaren ouder dan de mensheid. Tijdens hun verkenning reconstrueren ze de geschiedenis van de prehistorische bouwers, de Elder Things. De expeditie slaat om in een nachtmerrie wanneer blijkt dat in de ondergrond nog iets aanwezig is dat menselijke rede en overleving bedreigt.

Tekst achterflap

An Uncharted Continent.
A Forbidden Discovery.
A Terror Older Than Time.

In 1930, a scholarly expedition from Miskatonic University ventures deep into the frozen, untouched wastes of Antarctica. Equipped with advanced drilling technology, the team of scientists expects to uncover ancient fossils and geological secrets. Instead, beyond a range of colossal, storm-swept mountains higher than the Himalayas, they stumble upon the impossible: the monumental, non-Euclidean ruins of a megalithic city abandoned millions of years before the dawn of humanity.

As the explorers delve deeper into the frozen labyrinth, they decode the horrifying history of the city’s prehistoric builders—the Elder Things. But the true terror lies not in the dead past, but in what still stirs within the dark, subterranean depths. What began as a mission of scientific discovery rapidly devolves into a desperate, claustrophobic nightmare as the team realizes they have awoken a cosmic madness that defies human reason and survival.

Experience H. P. Lovecraft’s ultimate masterpiece of cosmic horror and science fiction. Masterfully blending psychological dread with a chilling atmosphere.
