I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

There's a few authors who carried on the Lovecraftian tradition - August Derleth, Clark Aston Smith, Robert Bloch (although his most notable work is not Lovcraftian - he wrote the book Psycho, later filmed by Hitchcock). Later on Ramsey Campbell and Brian Lumley.

Then there's the kind of post-Lovcraftian stuff - Thomas Ligotti is the big name in that area.

There's also a few modern authors who tried to bring modern sensibilities to Lovecraft's work. Ruthanna Emrys' re-imagining of the Innsmouth based events for example.

II will take a look at your suggestions, though not exclusivly looking for lovecraftian stories. I am more interested in the exploration aspect. Thanks
