The main series saved my life

I’ve been a borderline insomniac for, like, ever, and it used to be that the only thing that would put me to bed was npr because I liked when the British people would talk, but it gave me weird dreams and made me a creepily informed 9 year old, so now MAGNUS ARCHIVES. Its British voices, they make me sleep, I love horror, I love the theme music, this podcast is perfect in every way, and has accompanied me for the last 6 months, potentially until forever.
One of the best pieces of horror fiction. Period.

This podcast has, without question, one of the most inventive worlds and stories I’ve ever seen, horror or otherwise. Beyond having insanely creative lore, it also has an amazing cast, perfect pacing, and a surprising amount of genuine comedy. If you’re a fan of any flavor of horror, odds are it’s represented somewhere in the Archives, although I also personally believe that the series also works extremely well as an entry point for horror newcomers. Without spoiling too much, I also have to commend the series on all the ways it’s able to justify its framing devices without seeming contrived (seriously, the amount of framework that has an in-universe explanation is insane and impressive.) My only critiques are certain individual statements, but even the weakest are still incredibly solid. TLDR: This podcast is an absolute masterpiece overflowing with creativity and amazing writing. Listen to it or I’ll come into your home and make you feel unsafe.
