The Grimoire Diaries

The Grimoire Diaries

“Recent events have made me realise that perhaps my own memories are not as reliable as I once thought..." William Moore is a sceptic. He works at a quiet bookshop in North London, shelves odd little fairytales, and rolls his eyes at anything resembling the supernatural. But when something awful happens to someone he loves, William is forced to reckon with the idea that nursery rhymes, old gods, and forgotten superstitions might not be stories after all. The Grimoire Diaries is a 10-part audio drama blending horror and folklore, eldritch mystery and dark fantasy—all rooted in the real world. Based on the books The Grimoire of Forgotten Fairytales and The Tome of Terrible Truths, it brings William Moore’s unsettling universe to life in a new form. New Episodes Every Wednesday A Stone Fable production. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Grimoire Diaries is a haunting new 10 part f...
