This was really neat. I haven’t looked at SCP in aaaaages- probably nearly a decade at this point- so it was all pretty fresh to me. It only felt serial in a few places, mostly just the episodic structure. The first half, and especially the opening scene, is the strongest, though there is a really neat sequence involving a giant monolith later on. Unlike a lot of other cosmic horror that I’ve read, this one has a rather uplifting and hopeful ending, and I appreciate that. As for the horror, I found it particularly effective, since it taps into an irrational fear that I have: <spoiler>memory loss.</spoiler>
I recommend it.
(don’t tell anyone, but I liked it more than the Southern Reach sequels)
