H. P. Lovecraft

When a geologist leads an expedition to the Antarctic plateau, his aim is to find rock and plant specimens. The barren landscape offers no evidence of any life-form—until they stumble upon the ruins of a lost civilization. But their discovery of the terrifying city of the Old Ones leads them to an encounter with an untold menace.

The differing facets of H P Lovecraft's strange world - where science fiction is laced with horror and fantasy - is no more strikingly evoked than in this collection of three of his most popular shorter stories.
