Stone Fable
“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.

We wanted to share the Christmas special of one of our spin-off shows that we do over on the Stone Fable Patreon - Research in The Bib is a little anthology series of short stories William uncovers in his research into the provenance of the mysterious letter he received at the end of season 1 and takes place in between season 1 and 2. Hopefully it gives you that good spooky feeling we all like at this time of year. Season 2 production is under way and we can't wait to share it with you next year.

For the first time in weeks, William allows himself to believe Harriet is safe - but in the quiet moments, questions still linger. A meeting in the park brings unexpected answers, a warning arrives in the post, and William begins to realise the story is far from over.

Something is wrong at the hospital. Corridors loop back on themselves, familiar faces reappear, and shadows gather in the corners of William’s vision.

As reality slips away, familiar faces blur and moments once held dear distort into something unrecognisable. But somewhere in the confusion lies a truth - raw, buried, and almost too painful to face.

Following the girl from Pluckley, William slips through the cracks of reality and enters a strange and shifting realm that holds a forgotten, and terrible truth, long hidden just out of sight. What he learns there may be the key to saving Harriet. But unseen forces may already be shaping his path - and what felt like a choice may have only revealed what was always waiting...
