The Library of Jurgen Leitner is set in the world of the Magnus Archives and written by Nebula Award winning author Premi Muhammad with our very own Jonathan Sims. The story follows Hugh, a university dropout desperate to find somewhere to belong and his new job at an esoteric library. The books he must investigate for the enigmatic Jurgen Leitner are not normal because the library is not a vault sealed and silent, but a hive, alive, buzzing and ready to sting.

If you live outside of the UK or us, you may be able to make an international order for this first publication, but it depends on individual retailers shipping policies. On top of that, after the success of our Magnus Protocol collaboration with the independent apparel business Knock Thrice. We're now releasing a new Magnus Archives clothing collection featuring Archivist cardigans, a Tim Stoker inspired jacket, a Ghost Hunt UK hoodie, the spiral sweatshirt and shirts and more besides. We received hundreds of messages from fans after our last release desperate for some whimsical Knock Thrice designs based on Archives Classic with all the detailed illustrations and embroidery they had come to love, so we are thrilled to let you know. You can pre order them right now by going to Knockthrice CA or via the link in the episode description. Be warned though, the Pre order closes April 19, 2026, so order soon or you'll miss out. Finally, we're bringing our live event statement begins to the Crossed Wires Podcast festival in Sheffield, UK this year.
