They say Lady Byron is in a race to publish the latest, and Unutterably Wicked, edition of the Lyre of Erato before the Ministry finds her hidden press.
They say Sinning Jenny blushed on reading the proofs.
They say the Church is considering a ban on reading.
They say certain members of Society have been banished to the Tomb Colonies simply for saying the word “lyre.”
They say the Hedonism cap will be shattered.
They say the Bazaar’s collection will be complete.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

Sounds like a most wonderful work. I'd be delighted to read some of those papers, a few months in the Tomb Colonies would be so worth destroying the Hedonist cap!

Are you a Paramount Presence? Record your name here. For posterity, of course.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

Lady Byron’s 28 November 1896 edition of the Lyre of Erato was published; sadly however, her distribution network had been thoroughly infiltrated by the Ministry of Public Decency and no copies of the paper reached their intended destinations. The full depths of London’s salacious facts and fantasies must remain unplumbed ...
.

Or so one would believe where it not for a handful of patrons of a certain forbidden stage production having found in their playbills a short and heavily-expurgated excerpt alleged to have originated in that most infamous edition. Mayhap one or two copies may yet be extant.
The excerpt is reproduced below:
The [censored] was [censored] with much power, and attracted universal attention. It was [censored] into various [censored], and called forth a multitude of [censored] and [censored] in all parts of [censored]. Strong men [censored] against it, especially in London, and among them a few dignitaries of the Church; but the [censored] generally [censored] the [censored] with joy. Addison [censored] it in a [censored] [censored], and for nearly a [censored] it exercised a strong influence upon [censored] [censored], and aided to plant more deeply than ever the [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored]; whereas, [censored] [censored] brought on the Flood, it was beautiful in its "egg-shaped form," and free from every imperfection.
A few years later came [censored] [censored] of the highest [censored]—[Censored] [Censored], professor at [Censored], who in [censored] [censored] his New [Censored] of the [Censored]. Unlike [Censored], he endeavoured to avail himself of the Newtonian [censored], and brought in, to aid the [censored] catastrophe caused by human [censored], a [censored], which broke open "the fountains of the great deep."

Ohhh, my.
Can any sky be called sunless, when graced by the light of such stellar bodies of work?

Hieronymus Drake: Gentleman scholar, big-game hunter, scar-faced aristocrat. Remarkably sane, all things considered.
Tanith Wyrmwood: Longshanks cat-burglar; Bohemian author; now, perhaps, something more. Bubbly, expressive, and affectionate. It’s not only still waters that run deep.
Telemachia Lee: Gentle lady by birth, brawling Docker by choice. Good company in the drunk tank.

Damn those villains at the Ministry! We must break into the vaults at once, and liberate the Lyre from that villain Pages!
After tea.

For I was hungry, and you gave me rats. I was thirsty, and you gave me rats. I was naked, and you gave me rats. The rodents were gathered together, the cats slept in the Sun’s blindness, and the rats rose like the Moon, in the light at the edge of the cheese.
