Just got my first letter, couldn't wait to open it. Unfortunately, Postal services had places a stupid sticker on the envelope to cover part of it, but it's the inside that counts. I love this idea of getting real letters and a story with them, something to look forward to every time when checking to mail box.

Hi I have received 2 letters but these are telling a story nothing to really sink our teeth into yet.

Intriguing and cannot wait for more

I used to be an avid pre order my Stephen King's novels. 15 years ago, I hit a rough patch and haven't been able to enjoy a book since then. I've tried many and failed. I enjoyed the first letter and found the 2nd one very intriguing. Can't wait for the 3rd.

Even though I’ve only read the first letter, what a unique way to tell a story, without purchasing the book. I really like the concept of telling the story through letters! I purchased the letters for my adult children as a Halloween gift. We look forward to discussing the details and solving the mystery!

Absolutely loving the story so far! I bought as an anniversary gift for my wife and I, we’re so excited to keep reading! The fact that the Pharos curse was just a little blurb had my wife googling like crazy for at least an hour😂

Got this for my daughter in law. She loved it. Good choice for a birthday gift.

A fascinating way to tell a story and an incredible way to pull an audience into the plot. Eagerly awaiting the next one!

I’m invested!! I bought Scare Mail last month as a way to look forward to something while in college. (Plus I’m a huge fan of horror, especially found footage and analog horror which spins a “real” feel to it, and this felt like another version of that).
Admittedly, I forgot I bought it because it took a couple weeks for the first letter to actually come in, but I checked my mailbox today and there it was! I brought it back to my dorm and read it out loud with my roommates and we’re invested in the story. Keeping my fingers crossed that the next letter comes in a little quicker, but would recommend for sure!

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.
