Wow, what a fantastic adaptation of the classic Lovecraft story. Essential reading for any fan of Lovecraft's eldritch tales.
The first volume is a creepy setup for this second volume where things really come off the rails! Gou's artwork of the haunted Antarctic landscape and landscapes of unknown shapes is stunning. His black and white fine line work really portrays the haunted landscape to maximum effect. Also, his interpretations of the slithering Elder Ones is fantastic and terrifying.
My only complaint is why is this two volumes? They are separated logically but I really don't see a reason for it. Put it all together in one volume as one complete story.
A great read and highly recommended.

Wonderful adaptation by a fantastic mangaka. I can't suggest his Lovecraft series enough and every book that is announced is an instant buy. He climbed to one of my top spots.

Pretty cool art, but ultimately hard to follow and felt like it didn’t add much of its own to the story. Mostly made me want to read Lovecraft’s original and the Poe story it was built off of.

Conclusion of the story - after witnessing the horror of the zoological research party camp, leader of the Miskatonic University expedition and his assistant go to search for only missing member of the decimated camp. This will bring them into the very mysterious city behind the Antarctica's black massif from where they will come back drastically changed.
Everything I said for the volume #1 is true for this one too - gorgeous art and excellent graphical adaptation of Lovecraft's famous novel.
Recommended to all fans of Lovecraft stories and beautiful visual art.
