I have a generous 100% receipt policy. I will resend any letter that doesn't arrive within a timely manner so you can experience the entire story.

No - you're not too late! My model supports subscribers any time during the year. When you subscribe I'll start sending you the story you subscribed to. You will continue to get the entire experience for the next 12 months.
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.
