April 15, 1865. President Lincoln is dead and the country in turmoil.
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton takes control, determined to bring the assassin to justice—but the hunt for John Wilkes Booth isn’t all that grips Stanton.
Lincoln’s successor, Vice President Andrew Johnson, is likely to bend to southern interests and undo the very progress for which Lincoln died. Edwin Stanton must employ every bit of political wile he can muster to secure the future of the freed slaves, and the nation.
Consumed by his conviction, Stanton will betray his friends, his honor, and the very constitution he is sworn to protect, all to steer the country towards justice.

When Gloria took a waitressing job at a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with it's staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. "When the waves of the universe crash unrelentingly, when the stars seem indifferent to your plight, suddenly there is a diner." We open at 6.
“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.
