Overview

The Magnus Archives is a weekly horror fiction anthology examining the mysteries within the archives of London based The Magnus Institute, an organization dedicated to documenting and researching the esoteric and the weird. New head archivist Jonathan Sims attempts to organize and record a collection of seemingly unconnected statements of mysteries, supernatural and the occult, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his dedicated archival team. Individually the statements within the archives are unsettling. Together they begin to form a clear and disturbing picture. As you look deeper in to the archives something stares back.
