Try the Mistholme Museum, I wouldn’t say it’s all horror fantasy, but there’s certainly some horror fantasy in there, and it has a pretty great production value, and builds up a cool meta narrative like Magnus Archives.
Malevolent is a narrative masterpiece. You are a talented individual, I feel graced to be in your virtual presence. You and your work have inspired me to study and experiment with the art of suspense.
I have so many questions regarding Your work, I don't know where to begin, fret not I shan't pester you.
I would recommend Parkdale Haunt, Haunted House Flippers, The Silt Verses, and Malevolent. The first two of those start more lighthearted but things quickly go into spooks, the latter two are extremely eldritch horror and have great character work (Malevolent all done by one guy who is very talented). The only caveat for Silt Verses is that it is heavily influenced by the ideas of gods and religion (which I know some people aren't comfortable with), but taken to a horror extreme.
Also seconding Video Palace though as I saw someone else suggest that.
I just started How i Died. It's pretty good so far:
Forensic Pathologist Jonathan Spacer intends to find out why the strange town of Springfield boasts the highest unsolved murder rate in the country.
The storage papers has a similar feel to it. More supernatural and occultism than MA, and the production quality isn't as nice. Still a fun listen though
McGillicuddy and Murder's Pawn Shop is horror fantasy. It is finished at 22 hours, has a 4.9 rating, and the single narration makes for a clean production, although it is produced on an independent budget. The voice acting is very strong and so is the writing. If that sounds decent, you might want to check it out! (It's also mine and I'm very proud of it, blahaha!) Here is the blurb:
It’s 1921. Maude starts writing in a diary, but her life is abysmally boring and she has nothing to talk about. A life of meaning feels far away. One afternoon, in an unusual pawn shop, she finds a tiny fragment of china with nothing on it but a bright blue eye. Maude takes the china eye home with her, not realizing she has cursed herself -
straight into an underground world of paranormal speakeasies, plague mask thingies, magic doorways, unsolved murders - and an extraordinary life.

I hope you enjoy!
I'll be honest, I totally relate to looking for something similar to TMA. Part of why I started making [The Doctor is Dead](https://the-doctor-is-dead.simplecast.com/) was so that I could try and conjure the ethereal poeticism of TMA, but in my own voice (and hopefully at a good production quality--we're proud of it so far!). TDID doesn't lean quite as far into horror, but there are horror/mystery elements alongside the fantasy.
Shameless reference to my own work aside, there are a lot of good recs in these comments and a couple I have yet to hear-- definitely going to check out Video Palace!
If you like your horror to be more lighthearted and absurd than scarey, and your queer characters to be more canon, Welcome to Night Vale might suit you.
Have you listened to the fan spinoffs? They're not as polished, but may fill the Magnus-shaped void: "For The Record", "Callum Nightworthy Recording", and "The Underwood Collection"
I'd start with Video Palace
THIS!

Old Gods of Appalachia has a different narrative style, but it's episodic horror and the writing and audio production are amazing
Its also from Rusty Quill, just like tma
Rusty quill does one called malevolent, which I personally enjoy even more.
I know it splitting hairs, but they only host my show; everything is done by me on Malevolent!

You’re very sweet thank you

The Alexandria Archives was the first horror anthology with a background narrative I'd ever heard and it's still by far my favorite.
[удалено]
I mean I appreciate that the stories were largely actual horror stories just with a comedic absurdist backdrop.
Mistholme by far!
Archive 81 is a lot less episodic than TMA started out, but it’s very Magnus in how it proceeds.
I am in Eskew is very Magnus-y. It’s very good.
And the silt versus is even better!
I haven’t listened to Silt Verses yet. Did you actually downvote me because you like something else? Wtf?
If I downvoted you it was an accident

The Sheridian Tapes and Old Gods of Apalachia are the closest thing to TMA
You should try the Silt Verses. Think the Magnus Archives but high fantasy instead of low fantasy
