From the very first letter, you will be dying for more. It's captivating and suspenseful and I find myself eagerly awaiting the next letter. I love it and know you will, too. PS this would also make a great gift.

I gave this to a horror-loving friend, and she's been so excited to get these in the mail.

Purchased the Scaremail package and it sets itself up pretty well, and within the first few letters it expands the horror element pretty solidly.
Hard recommend for those expecting a slow burn- because the time between the letters makes it feel like one, but the letter pick up quickly.

This is the best, I love that you only get a little bit at a time, keeps me on my toes and wondering. I've been hooked since the first delivery and can't wait to see what's next!

Just Two Letters In And Already Having Fun With This

The personal interaction with David definitely set a great foundation for enjoying this whole shebang - getting real messages back from the content creator is always a fun experience. The letters themselves have also proven to be well-worth the cost. Three down, many left to go, and I am absolutely looking forward to being around the 85% mark during the spooky season for an extra thrill!

I love these letters. I shared the link a year ago on Facebook and my mother in law saved the link and bought it for me 10 months later for my birthday and it has been amazing getting these letters! I love getting mail and creepy stories are what I thrive on! She also got me the signed box to keep all of my letters and pen/letter opener in and its perfect!

I’m curious to see where this story goes. I haven’t got much details yet, but I’m looking forward to more!

I use USPS First Class Mail and the delivery time varies up to 2 weeks domestically and up to 6 weeks internationally. A list of my shipping dates are listed here.
My general suggestion is 14+ but each child is different. Scaremail contains disturbing themes, imagery and descriptions. There is no abuse of any kind, child, animal or sexual. There is mild swearing. Minor drug and alcohol references.
