Incoming wall of text! Sorry in advance, look at the bolded words to kind of do a TLDR of my reply :P

Read "Annihilation", the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, by Jeff VanderMeer. It'll ruin Tanis for you, because you'll see where they got a lot of their content from (to put it nicely).

The two last books in that series are okay, but I wasn't completely on board for them. Loved the first one, though. You could also just watch the movie version that's on Netflix, but know this: while well-made in some aspects, the director chose not to re-read the book OR read its sequels, so it diverges from the original book / book series quite a lot in some unfortunate ways.

I'm currently (still) trying to get through [House of Leaves](https://www.amazon.com/House-Leaves-Mark-Z-Danielewski/dp/0375703764/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1536787331&sr=1-1&keywords=House+of+LEaves) by Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a fantastically weird story about a house...And about other things. It's probably the weirdest book I've ever read, in that it plays a lot with the format. There's at least two stories being told simultaneously most of the time, which can get kind of overwhelming. Think of it like if a regular horror movie and a found footage horror movie had a bastard child together. And that bastard child was this book.

If you're looking for weird fiction in the form of podcasts, I'd direct your attention to Archive 81. For my money, it's the absolute BEST in weird fiction podcasts. It's currently 3 seasons, and each season the podcast changes. It's still the same overarching story / world, but the settings are way different.

Other notable podcasts include King Falls AM which has sort of a goofy x-files-if-they-were-a-radio-station vibe to it, featuring both a lot of good comedy, good songs (when they happen) and the occasional gutwrenching drama. The writing is good, the performance is amazing. You could also go for Darkest Night if you're into the idea of podcasts as a horror medium. They do excellent stuff, and their new season starts this October! They feature a few cameos from Michelle Visage and RuPaul if that's your thing (and these two amazing people feature more heavily in the other podcast by this company, Deadly Manners.

Going back to books, I suggest Laird Barron to anyone who likes horror and short stories. He has mixes of gritty noir and cosmic horror, and he's an absolute blast. The Imago Sequence is my favorite collection of his, but The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All is great as well. Laird Barron has also appeared in compilations outside his own, and was part of compiling the excellent modern Cthulhu short story collection, Autumn Cthulhu. This book is great if you like the idea of cosmic H.P. Lovecraft-esque horror, but don't so much like the gross racism that HPL had (and showed in his work).

If you like Slenderman and have time to burn, I'd suggest looking at Marble Hornets on YouTube. It has 87 "main" entries of varying (but mostly short) length, with a bunch of cryptic in-between shorts. It's one of the first Slenderman pieces of media, though they don't call him that. In Marble Hornets, he's called "The Operator". TBH it's sort of varying in quality (especially in the beginning), as I'm fairly sure the people who made it were film students at the time. As they go along, they have some amazing moments where they show off some really, really great editing skills. Of course, you could also buy the whole series on BluRay if that's your thing, but it's available for free on their YouTube channel.

I love how the Malacetic Atlas is treated with a Necronomicon-type reverence because all I'm picturing is that jumpy orange font from the Weird U.S. franchise (which is pretty great, tbh). Theory though: With recent theories made about translating the Voynich Manuscript, do you think that's why the Malacetic Atlas suddenly appeared? Since Miles can no longer use a real text as a mysterious tome connected to Tanis, it seems like he had to make one up that will always suit his needs and will never be revealed to be a medicinal textbook.

But yeah, the runner recording piqued my interest, but naturally, it was lost again in the many trips and scene-changes that we didn't need. Classic Tanis!

A Mountain Walked. Not a novel, but an anthology. Contributions to the Cthulu Mythos from weird fiction masters past and present, including Thomas Ligotti, Neil Gaiman and Ramsey Campbell.

Also, it's not in the Lovecraft universe, but Laird Barron has his own equally creepy mythos of ancient alien entities worshiped by crazed acolytes trying to bring about the end of everything by summoning their deities to earth. The Children of Old Leech is the anthology that pays tribute to Barron and his "carnivorous cosmos."

Being a skeptic myself, I think this is a terrible breach of professional ethics on the psychiatrist's part, but it does fit in with what we've seen in the last few TBT episodes. There's also Glimpses of the Devil, by M. Scott Peck .

Currently reading The Hike by Drew Magary.

Guy on a business trip falls into a dark Alice in Wonderland / in the woods / can't leave this designated trail called The Path & followed by a group of killers called the Dogfaces. A very TANIS-ey vibe as well.
