The Grimoire Diaries - Horror, Fables and Fairy Tales and Folklore Serial Audio Drama

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.

Dastardly Dungeoneers - Fantasy Longform Dungeons & Dragons Audio RPG

As days darken and the light of hope begins to wither, travelers on the frontier yearn for a hero to shape the new world's future... Following the wreckage of the Great War, the newly unified Feraelands found themselves taken advantage of by the Nine Archdevils of the Hells – conniving children of the Gods who targeted struggling frontier families and soldiers, offering them otherworldly powers beyond mortal comprehension at the measly cost of their soul post-mortem. Zenith couldn’t bear to see her beloved mortals be taken advantage of; choosing four individuals from different walks of life to serve as her Chosen, who succeeded in reforming the relationship between the surface and the Hells. In the beginning – this brought a gale of positive change to the Feraelands. But, once the journey was over, time continued its cruel march as our heroes grew jaded, resentful – disillusioned with the responsibilities placed on their heavy shoulders. With each beast felled, a new, deadlier foe would arise – and as the four took on everything from corrupt tax collectors to dragons displacing entire settlements with their almost otherworldly abilities, the unity that once bathed the Feraelands in a Golden light of hope had begun to dim. Years have passed since these legendary heroes were plucked from their everyday lives and sent down a path of adventuring for “a higher purpose”. Our gilded heroes of the Feraelands were weathered by the region’s never-ending storm and one faithful day many years ago, the four cut ties and decided to carve their own paths – at least, that’s what they thought the fates had in store for them.
