I haven't slept in a long while so I don't have the energy or memory to infodump too extensively but please for the love of all that is holy listen to the Magnus archives. I am begging everyone who sees this comment and has even marginally enjoyed horror atleast once to immerse themselves in this masterpiece.
To give an incredibly brief description it is a 200 episode long horror audio drama that follows an archivist at the Magnus institute; an academic establishment focused on archiving paranormal events in the form of experience statements from the general public. Jonathan sims, the archivist, is tasked with transforming some of these statements into an audio format (along with every other aspect of an archivist job but he kinda sucks at it) and he starts to notice some connections.
That's as much as I can say without spoilers. I think with this amount of information it can be enjoyed to the fullest with the maximum feeling of wonderment, fear, and curiosity. However for those of you who need more convincing and don't mind knowing a bit more I'm gonna add a little under this spoiler tag. Nothing too major but I think knowledge of it takes a bit away from the experience.

You ever heard of checkhovs gun? The Magnus archives is checkhovs firing squad. Everything is connected, every detail is important. Every single moment builds to its finale.This audio drama focuses on the nature and catagorization of fear itself. Being controlled, contagion, filth, destruction, being watched, having your secrets known, darkness, being prey, your own flesh, suffocation, isolation, how tiny you actually are, war, random violence, fire, strangers, madness, death; these are all things to be feared and they all manifest supernaturally. Sometimes the blend together sometimes they are incredibly distinct but they are all just manifestations of fear. Jonathan Sims is forced to face the reality that the world isn't as he thought he knew it and he must piece together what it all means. Between cults, books of power, people who channel the power of these fears, rituals, and names that just won't stop showing up it becomes obvious to Sims that these events are in no way random. Should he do something about it or just continue to observe? What will he do when these powers inevitably confront him personally?
It's fucking riveting
I hope someone here sees this and becomes as obsessed as I was. I shit you not I listened to 200 20min episodes in the matter of 2 weeks and that was my second time listening. It's sequel, the Magnus protocol is currently releasing every Thursday and I just don't know If I can handle e listening at that pace
I LIED I ABSOLUTELY DO HAVE THE ENERGY TO INFO DUMP
Next up on the roster is sweet home by by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan. I'll make this as quick as I can
You like depression, monsters, tense group dynamics, apocalypse, and the constant nagging fear that you will never make it out of this shit hole of a situation? Yeah me too, sweet home has it all. Star of the show hyun is a shut in who just moved into a new apartment building after the death of his sister and father iirc. Not long after being there shit starts to get a lil weird but he doesn't notice all that much because he's a shut in. Eventually even he has to notice the world's gone to shit when he starts seeing posts on the intenret about it before the Internet stops working. One look outside is all it took really. Will hyun ever get to see the finale of maria from the sky? Probably not but a man can dream.
I'll be back to info dump some more if I still can't sleep. You better pray I don't turn this comment into an 8 page rant. I don't know the character limit for Lemmy comments but I'll fucking find it.
Ok fuck. I've had it in my podcast Playlist for a while now. I'll start it this week once I finish my current audio book. You sold me by the first paragraph so to avoid spoilers I stopped reading. Thanks for the push, here I go.
Also this reminds me, for anyone that enjoys this sort of archival paranormal story type check out Out of Place on Spotify as well. It's similar but with historical artifacts it gets pretty intimate as the story progresses.
You are the 6th person I've convinced to listen to tma. My sphere of influence grows further.
