I love the story I've been sent. It is just like reading letters from one person to the other. I don't want to say more and give anything away, but if you love horror stories I highly recommend this!!

I saw the ad for scaremail on Facebook and I was intrigued. I'm glad I bought it because it's a very good story so far and I get excited when the mail comes now because I have something to look forward to!

My husbad knows I love anything spooky and a good mystery. He got me this as a surpise and I'm super excited to learn more. This is such a awesome idea. I'm hooked and need to know more.

I LOVE SCARE ME! It’s refreshing to receive snail mail again especially with the on going mystery contained in said story. I love the imagination and the mystery in the letters. David has such a gift and I devour every bit of every word. Such a unique way of writing a thriller/mystery. I love everything about it. Looking forward to letter #4. Thank you for sharing your gift. I’m definitely a fan.

I have received my fourth letter, and I am hooked!
The letters are a great (and different) way to tell the story that is unfolding. Can't wait for my next letter!

I have been looking for a little treat for myself when I stumbled upon scare mail. I decided to go for it and it’s been a pleasant surprise. I love the anticipation of waiting for the next letter to come and I like the added facts and info. Some of which may have unlocked a fear I never knew I had.

I received my first two letters so far and love the layer of experiences provided. The groundwork for something big is set and the intrigue is building! I can’t wait to get my next letter. I’m so glad I got this for myself!

Only a few have come in so far. I ordered them as a gift for someone else, but I've enjoyed his dramatic readings of them, so it's turned out to be a delight for both of us. Thank you!!

I ordered a year subscription for my daughter who is infatuated with scary stories. She is 11 and absolutely enjoys not only receiving the mail but getting to read them and sharing the story with me and her dad. Best gift ever!.
