I love that they go explore this creepy hidden city beyond the mountains, and it’s lowkey just Madison, WI in the winter - old, poorly maintained buildings half-buried in snow, illogical street designs, horrific winds, and secret underground passageways. The only difference I can see is there’s no way Madison would allow such massive buildings.

Shit’s getting freaky, RIP to the Lake crew. I really like the simple but effective image of these impossibly tall mountains (funny enough, when I read the title I did not immediately consider literal mountains of madness, I guess I just figured it was a cool title).

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
