The Spiritus Club is the only clairvoyant publishing house in London. It was founded in 1908.

Description[]

The Spiritus Club considers itself to be the stronghold of creativity among clairvoyants. Despite this, it appears very shabby. The Spiritus Club is located in Grub Street in I-5. The Spiritus Club building is tall and narrow, crammed between a poetry lounge and a printing press. It has mock-Tudor half-timbering, a buckled beak of roof, a heavy green door, and dirty windows. The inside is quaint. There is flower-patterned wallpaper, sconces, a little rosewood desk on a deep burgundy carpet, and a doormat. The symbol of the Spiritus Club is two fountain pens inside a circle, joined to create the hands of a clock. The symbol is carved on to a shield above the mantlepiece. It's also printed in the top right-hand corner of every illegal pamphlet and chapbook in the citadel. A staircase leads up to private offices and rooms. The landing has gold stair rods with decorative brackets.

The Spiritus Club was built on the foundations of the Scriblerus Club, a group of satirists. With the exception of Jaxon Hall, the Spiritus Club has always believed that unless a story is written by someone whose link to the æther is sustained by writing, it's a story not worth telling. For something to be published the Grub Street booksellers have to be convinced to see it, and then have to allocate a certain amount of money to pay the Penny Post which sells and delivers literature to the syndicate. The Spiritus Club publishes Didion Waite's pamphlets and chapbooks. They also publish Paige Mahoney's penny dreadful, The Rephaite Revelation.
