Just a casual trip down to Antarctica with 50 guys, 50 dogs, 5 airplanes, and 2 boats. You know, keeping it lowkey and such.
First chapter in and I’m enjoying the way he describes Antarctica as a setting, it feels massive, ancient, and dead. I also love when his characters are lowkey blinded by hubris and end up discovering a horror through that, and it seems like that’s precisely the direction this is headed

I’m thankful that I’m around a quarter of the way through this story and the pacing doesn’t feel like it’s dragging nearly as much as I expected. The slow discovery of the markings in the rocks, then the fossils, and eventually the full bodies of the apparent Elder Ones keeps ramping up the mystery, while small things like the bodies’ off putting biology and the dogs hating them bring up the spookiness.
