MAG 100.5 - Assistants Round Table

Happy last week of hiatus! Join us behind-the-scenes as the familiar voices of the Magnus Institute's archival assistants break character to discuss their thoughts on performance, inspiration, and horror. As an added bonus, here is a short must-read (or play) list from Alex, Mike, and Lydia:

• Alien Isolation - Creative Assembly (not read but play!)
• Blindsight - Peter Watts
• Dracula - Bram Stoker
• Swamp Thing - DC Comics (Alan Moore)
• The Dunwich Horror - H.P. Lovecraft
• The Shadow over Innsmouth - H.P. Lovecraft

Stay tuned for a shiny new Magnus episode next week!
