Turns out, our main character is going to need to talk to many more people than one ghost.
And to get to this next person, it’s time to see more of this magical city. It’s time to go to the docks, where magical portals are very common.
When our main character started talking to a ghost, he probably didn’t expect to end up trying to save his whole city.
We return to our supernatural tale, dear reader.
Now that our main character has finished talking to a ghost about the ghost’s troubles, there’s more to do.
We return, once again, to our story of a ghostly conversation.
This time, we’re learning what happened in that meeting room, and how a ghost actually died.
We return, once again, to a conversation with a ghost.
This time, we find out why the ghost was running from our main character in the first place. And his story is about something that not only could change their city forever, but their whole world.
This strange urban fantasy story continues. Our main character has managed to catch up with a ghost—but now he has to talk to him.
Despite that title, this is not a horror story. It’s an urban fantasy. One set in a city where ghosts are perfectly normal.
Even after watching the first three episodes, The Bureau of Magical Things feels like a show that doesn’t exist. A hypothetical series a nerdy character might watch in the background of a scene. I’ve heard no one discuss The Bureau of Magical Things, reference it, or allude to it anywhere online in critic circles, yet it has all the trappings of a show that people make video essays about.
I dismissed Lockwood & Co. during my first exposure to it. A random segment of the show I walked past didn’t impress me. But now, having seen the first three episodes, I must admit how wrong I was. This is not only one of the best recent paranormal thrillers/horror urban fantasies, but it’s a good show in any context.
Trese has an awful first episode. It’s such an underwhelming piece of animated storytelling in almost every regard. I’m probably not even going to watch three episodes for a full review.
We promised the return, so here it is! Another installment by our very own Brandon Scott!
It’s been a while, but it’s back! Brandon Scott’s long-running, multi-part urban fantasy story continues with its tenth section.
