How It Works
Perfect for that horror-lover or hard-to-buy-for friend, the Scaremail Gift Box allows the receiver to start the subscription immediately using a redemption code inside.
When the receiver is ready, they just need to enter the code at checkout, and their Scaremail will be free, and we'll send the second letter in *1-3 business days. (Letter 1 is already included, so they can start the story immediately)
Also included is David's Steel Bookmark and the official Scaremail Pen and Letter Opener set in your choice of black or red.

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.
