I know several of my followers are Fallen London aficionados like myself, so I thought I’d write a short review of The Haunting at the Marsh-House, Fallen London’s first story exclusively for Exceptional Friends. If you’re thinking about subscribing and becoming such a Friend, hopefully you’ll find this review helpful! Obviously, I will not be going into specifics about content or rewards, per Failbetter’s gentlepersons’ agreement with the community vis a vis paid content.
