Scare Me mail is unsettling in the best way. It makes you feel goosebumps while also peaking your curiosity. I was very excited when I got it in the mail and was immediately immersed into the story as I opened each letter. I even showed my sister so we both could enjoy this unique way of storytelling. I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to be immersed into a spooky but intriguing storyline! And I can't wait for the next letter!

The Scare.Me letter box is an absolute game-changer! I couldn't be happier with this purchase – it's an awesome addition that finally keeps my letters safe and secure. From the moment I ordered, the experience was fantastic. It arrived really fast, which was a pleasant surprise, and the condition was absolutely great, perfectly packaged.
This letter box is definitely worth getting to store your letters. The quality is top-notch, and it feels incredibly sturdy and reliable. But what really pushed this review over the top was the personal touch: it was awesome to see it signed, and finding some additional goodies inside was just the cherry on top. It made the unboxing experience truly special.
I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend ordering from Scare.Me. You won't be disappointed!

I just read the first letter. I want to devour next ones as soon as possible! The thing about snail mail, the anticipation, visiting the mail box every day.. Damn! It's been awhile since something has had me this excited!

I received my 1st letter and have read and re-read it over and over. It is very interesting and I cannot wait to recieve more. I think it is well written and I can absolutely see myself being drawn into this story. Great work David.

This was actually a gift for my daughter, but she absolutely LOVES it. She brought so I could check it out, and it's definitely awesome!! She is looking forward to the next one (and all those afterwards as well). My only regret it that I didn't order it for myself! The pen and letter opener are really neat too! Definitely FIVE stars!!! Here is my daughter with her special collector's box (which is already storing her first set of goodies). Thanks again!!!
