Лучшие книги Джонатана Симса

Лондон скрывает много тайн. Одна из них – Баньян-Корт, построенный одиозным олигархом Тобиасом Феллом. Шикарный фасад, апартаменты премиум-класса, а на задворках теснятся квартирки для неимущих. В годовщину строительства миллиардер-отшельник внезапно приглашает на званый обед двенадцать человек. Какова его цель? Что их связывает? За драмами и грязными делишками наблюдают сами стены Баньян-Корта, чьи изменяющиеся пространства преодолеваются не только ногами, и есть направления, которые не покажет ни один компас.

JUST ANOTHER DEAD-END JOB.

DEATH. IT’S A DIRTY BUSINESS.

When Diya Burman’s best friend Angie dies, it feels like her own life is falling apart. Wanting a fresh start, she joins Slough & Sons – a family firm that cleans up after the recently deceased.

Old love letters. Porcelain dolls. Broken trinkets. Clearing away the remnants of other people’s lives, Diya begins to see things. Horrible things. Things that get harder and harder to write off as merely her grieving imagination. All is not as it seems with the Slough family. Why won’t they speak about their own recent loss? And who is the strange man that keeps turning up at their jobs?

If Diya’s not careful, she might just end up getting buried under the family tree. . .

The Magnus Archives is a horror story written by Jonathan Sims, directed by Alexander J. Newall and distributed by Rusty Quill. Sims narrates the stories in-character as the main character, Jonathan Sims, the newly-appointed head archivist of the fictional Magnus Institute; an institution based in London centred on research into the paranormal. With each chapter released as a podcast episode, The Magnus Archive is structured as a series of statements recorded or written and then recorded for internal research use within The Magnus Institute. At the beginning of each statement, the statement-taker (mainly Jon, the head archivist) provides a brief description of the statement and the name of the statement-maker. Those who give or record statements in the Magnus Institute tend to lapse into a trance-like state not unlike reliving the event.
