These are wonderfully written- I find myself waiting anxiously for my newest letter to come in the post. It’s hard to wait the full two weeks to see what happens next- but I really love how it makes you feel like you’re part of the story world. I would read any books by this author in a heartbeat! Truly captivating. If you’re on the fence about ordering, take this as your sign!

I am a huge thriller/horror fan. As is my family, and life long friends. I am a product of my environment, and raising. Movies, TV shows, books, you name it. And am an incredibly huge Stephen King fan (currently have 5 books in my car, 3 of which I am simultaneously reading). I had came across an ad for this mail series on instagram, and it sparked my interest. I pondered on it for a day, then decided why the hell not?
The 1st letter is a great mix of well wording and is just intriguing enough to make your antenna’s poke up on the top of your head. I am in my 30’s, and have had the same, on one hand count, group of friends since I was 12 years old (“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12… Jesus, did you?” iykyk) and we have recently decided to do a book club between us because for as long as we can all remember, we have always read the same books and we need a real excuse to be able to get together outside of our mundane adult lives. I have already shared with them about the 1st letter, my thoughts, we are meeting tomorrow and I’ll get to show them it. I CANNOT wait, as well as them, to have the next of each of the letters because I will be sharing them every time we meet for “book club”!!
Thank you for adding to the curious minds of a lifelong, 5 in 1. It’s definitely going to give us something to talk about!

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!
