At the Mountains of Madness

Here is a playlist for you to listen to while reading the H. P. Lovecraft classic, At the Mountains of Madness. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic continent and what was found there by the explorers, which the narrator describes in the hope of deterring another expedition that is currently planned. 
The story has inadvertently popularized the concept of ancient astronauts, as well as Antarctica’s place in the “ancient astronaut mythology”.
The songs of the playlist slowly devolve over time into dissonance and sadness to match the themes of the book.
