London’s shadows are shifting. As strange symbols surface across the city and whispers of an unseen force ripple beneath the streets, four unlikely allies—W.B. Yeats, Harry Houdini, Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde—find themselves drawn into a mystery older than the Underground itself. Their search for a missing friend leads them deep into forgotten tunnels, buried rivers and the city’s long‑silenced memories. What they uncover will test their loyalties, their beliefs and the very limits of what London can hold in its bones.

In this chapter of The Midnight Dispatch, history bends, legends converge and the past refuses to stay buried.

The Midnight Dispatch is a historical fiction anthology podcast blending real people, places and events with the strange and supernatural. Season 1 reimagines the Jack the Ripper murders through the eyes of famous figures who may be more than they seem.

Written and produced by Joe Ferguson.
