The Hallucinated Mountains Volume 2

After landing in the unknown city, Dyer and Danforth entered the underground part to carry out preliminary explorations, driven by scientific curiosity as well as the desire to find young Gedney. Under the ice, they discover a gigantic stone labyrinth, untouched since the dawn of time, where countless bas-reliefs describe the civilization that lived there, from its peak to its decline. But, soon, they spot traces of Gedney's sleigh and follow his trail... to his corpse. If Gedney was already dead, who have they been following since the beginning? What beings left these traces, and seem to move around this city like regulars? Frozen with fear, but unable to resist their desire to learn more about the Ancients, the two men descend ever deeper into this icy cemetery, to the limits of fear and madness... Frozen desert landscapes , unspeakable creatures several million years old discovered in an abnormal state of preservation, strange geometric structures at the top of black mountains, higher than Everest...

This short story by Lovecraft has inspired generations of authors and directors, from John Carpenter, when he made The Thing, to Guillermo del Toro who dreamed of bringing it to the screen. Always fascinated by the world of HP Lovecraft, François Baranger, an illustrator recognized throughout the world for his talents as a concept artist for cinema and video games, took on the "cyclopean" task of putting his main writings into images .
