"January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica...to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage -- some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. Some are missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby...for under its five points is a grave -- and what lies beneath is not remotely human! At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft's mythos -- the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved"--Back cover, volume 1.
