The Grimoire Diaries returns for Season Two

After saving Harriet from the fae child who stole her name, William thought he understood the hidden world beneath London’s streets, cemeteries, bookshops, and old rhymes.

He was wrong.

Season Two begins Wednesday 10 June, with new episodes weekly.

About The Grimoire Diaries

A charting UK fiction podcast

The Grimoire Diaries reached the upper ranks of the UK fiction podcast charts and has been listened to by audiences around the world.

Written by Alex Edwards and William Moore, produced by Stone Fable, and performed by a cast of over 20 actors, the series blends full-cast drama, original music, immersive sound design, British folklore, fae mythology, eldritch horror, and mystery.

What To Expect

A full-cast folk horror and urban fantasy audio drama.

British folklore, fae mythology, eldritch horror, cursed objects, old gods, strange rituals, hidden worlds, and characters you will become far too attached to.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy supernatural mysteries, folklore horror, immersive audio fiction, and stories you have to keep listening to all night, even though you know you shouldn't.

New to The Grimoire Diaries?

Start with Season One. It is ten episodes and follows William, a sceptical London bookseller, as he tries to save his oldest friend Harriet after her name is taken by something old, smiling, and far more dangerous than it first appears.

Expect fae bargains, cursed folklore, eldritch magic, old gods, impossible labyrinths, and the creeping sense that the stories we tell children were warnings all along.

The Grimoire Diaries expands the eerie world of William Moore’s illustrated folklore horror books, where nursery rhymes, old wives’ tales, fairy stories, and forgotten customs hide something darker beneath the surface.

You do not need to have read the books to listen, but fans of the books will recognise some clues, easter eggs and the same haunted logic: names have power, bargains bind, and old gods wait.

"The chains weren’t anchored to anything I could see. They simply ended in the air, each link stopping abruptly, impossibly..."

Season Two: The List

Saving Harriet was only the beginning.

A list has appeared. The names on it are dying. And the deeper William digs, the more he begins to realise that this is not just another fae trick. Something older is moving behind the curtain.

This season, The Grimoire Diaries descends into oaths, contracts, broken promises, impossible laws, shadowed organisations, and the terrible question at the heart of every bargain:

"They slip through the keyhole the moment you're gone..."

“I heard laughter then—pure and innocent glee—and when I turned to look, the little girl was gone.”
