comment
The Sick Land is the blog of Alex Case, a researcher based at a remote station on the outskirts of an area called The Sick Land. The Sick Land radiates a malign influence called the mal. It warps life forms, damages machinery, drives researchers insane, and sometimes worse...A surprisingly effective Cosmic Horror Story, The Sick Land has concluded after a ten-month run. Definitely not for the faint of heart.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Abandoned Area: The Sick Lands used to be inhabited, before the mal started spreading. Now all but one of its inhabitants have just disappeared.

Apathetic Citizens: Most of the world, while aware of the Sick Land, doesn't seem terribly worried about it despite the fact that it is spreading. Similarly, the Facility scientists not only simply sit and observe the Sick Land as it spreads, but don't even care to figure out how the equipment they use works or what their findings really mean, just sending them to another department.

Ambiguous Gender: the narrator, Alex, could be an "Alexandra" just as much as an "Alexander," and the narration gives no clues as to the character's sex.

Body Horror: In Alex's weird dreams about Bob, Bob is increasingly decomposed with each subsequent dream. At the same time, a piece of mal keeps growing more and more and spreading across his arm and devouring it. Yikes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

They also describe a dream where an Uncanny Valley deer with a jointed needle for a foot is eating grass and looking at them. Alex is suitably creeped out.

Breather Episode: After the harrowing experiences of their Sick Lands expedition and working with Subject 83, Alex finds themself working with Subject 407, who is basically normal except with a large right arm. They even lampshade how much of a welcome break it is.
