“The longer I looked, the more disorienting it became.”
Step beyond the veil of the ordinary and into a realm where stories are not as they seem. 'The Grimoire of Forgotten Fairytales' beckons you into a world of ancient lore and enigmatic verses. From twisted nursery rhymes to cryptic riddles, each page is a key to a door yet unopened, a path yet untraveled. Will you heed the whispers of forgotten tales and unlock the secrets that lie within? Venture forth, if you dare, but remember: some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
In the shadowy corners of TikTok, a series of eerie sketches began to take root—strange poems, forgotten nursery rhymes, and unsettling stories whispered in the dark. These glimpses into a haunted world quickly captured the imagination of thousands, drawn to the blend of folk horror, mystery, and myth. At the heart of this growing storm was William Moore, whose unique storytelling style gave shape to a new kind of folklore.
What began as fleeting videos soon demanded something deeper—something people could hold, revisit, and lose themselves in. And so, The Grimoire of Forgotten Fairytales was born.
​
Launched via Kickstarter in 2023, the project resonated powerfully with its audience, soaring past its goal and amassing over 200% funding. Pre-orders flooded in, and by Halloween, the book had become a phenomenon—selling thousands of copies and captivating readers with its blend of eerie poetry, tales, and illustrated nightmares. An audiobook followed in early 2024, bringing the stories to life in whispered voices and haunting tones.
​
But that was just the beginning.
​
In 2024, William returned with a second book—The Tome of Terrible Truths—a darker, more twisted companion to the first. The Kickstarter campaign exploded, raising over £90,000 and cementing this connected world as something truly special. With both books now in print, Forgotten Fairytales had become a living mythology.
​
In 2025, the universe expanded once again with The Grimoire Diaries, a full-cast audio drama that dives deeper into the same eldritch world. Streaming now on all major podcast platforms, it follows the story of William Moore and the strange, hidden truths lurking just beyond reality. It’s a new chapter—one that listeners can fall into week by week.
​
And still, the story isn’t finished. More tales, more secrets, and more eldritch whispers are on the way.
