We’ve got a little bonus for our Exceptional Friends next week. In addition to the usual benefits, subscribers will gain access to the House of Chimes, an exclusive private members club on the Stolen River. The mysterious Mr Chimes holds court in this emporium of forbidden pleasures, constructed in the ruins of a rather famous clock tower.
What you can find in the House of Chimes:
A spine-chilling vignette of love and spiders from interactive fiction legend and EBZ contributor Emily Short (Secrets Framed in Black, The Big Rat)
A chance to deepen your acquaintance with the Regretful Soldier, in Brian Millar’s tale of the last British cavalry charge against the devils of the Neath.
Gaming tables for the discerning player of Baccarat or Heart’s Hazard
Private Rooms for members who wish to conduct their affairs in a keyhole-free environment
Immediate access to the opening chapters of many Fallen London tales, including Intimate of Devils, the Cheesemonger and Shroom Hopping.
Immediate access to honeyed laudanum and Fate gifting, via Mr Chimes itself.
What you won’t find in the House of Chimes are major plot revelations, secret ambitions or anything that is vital to the Echo Bazaar experience. It’s just a place to kick back, enjoy a glass of warm Greyfields and swap stories by the fireside. We hope you enjoy it.
