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

The Hyperion series, particularly the first book has some of that. And can be read without reading the other books.

A Deadly Education series is pretty much this to an extent. And a series I love!

The Silo series is adjacent to this, I love all three books.

The Expanse series has a few books that fit the bill but you really can't skip to those books so it may not be what you're looking for.

    Seconding Hyperion. But adding the caveat you should consider reading the second book in the series too, at least, since the first ends a bit on a "cliffhanger" and has no conclusion really.
