i alwayS look forward to receiving the next letter beCause this story has me hooked And im always intRigued to read what happEns next . my muM has also been reading the lettErs and she isn't a big horror fan like myself haha

LOVE IT❣️❣️

I got this for my 12 yr old son and I to read/do together and we both really enjoy it and he loves the fact that he gets mail via good ole snail mail in a world where emails are the preferred method. Our creepy story is starting to get interesting and I find myself looking forward to the next letter.
The fact that the creators are both disabled Veterans sealed the deal for us because its supports our Vets and I want to teach my son how important that is, we owe our freedoms to you and the Veterans before you. Thank you sooooo much for that!

Scare Mail #3

I love anything having to do with horror, Halloween, ghosts and anything spooky. I've put off ordering this for a while and finally decided to go for it. I can honestly say I wasn't impressed after I received my first letter. The second letter did get me hooked. I just received my third letter today and will be opening it a little bit later. I do love to receive swag with my purchases and have seen others receive pins etc. So far I have not been so lucky. I do recommend and feel that with each letter I will get more and more hooked.

Eagerly anticipated

I’m really looking forward to this letter it’s got me so excited! It’s interesting how something as simple as a letter can mean so much. I can’t wait to read the next one. Best purchase I ever did everything is fantastic. Thank you David and family.

Each letter is better than the last!

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!

1st letter!

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!

IN LOVE!

I've always been huge into writing and receiving letters and an even bigger horror fan this is perfect for me! And my mom loves it to she always comes just to read the letters❤️

Super fun

I love getting the letters, and have enjoyed all of them, even the one my dog ate, thank you so much!

Unsettling!

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!

Love ScareMail!!!

Such an interest way to tell a story! Every letter peaks my interest more! I love how you connected with real-life situations! Totally can’t wait for my next letter to arrive! Thank you, David!

Loving it !

This is from my smoking hot girlfriend Stacey who is receiving the letters
“I freaking love it “

Amazing

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!

Very pleased.

My Terror Box arrived earlier than expected. I love everything in it! I made a video of the box opening, but it won't let me upload a video, so I went back and took a pic. I love everything in it! 2 paperback books, an audio book, an ebook, a Terrifier keychain, book marks (metal, paper, and magnetic), bracelet, can koozie stickers, beverage coasters, a jump scare spider box, and Chuckie socks! I love it all!

This was a gift

My daughter said she loved the presentation. I don’t know about the story yet.

Perfect gift!!

I sent to my friend for her birthday and she thought it was so awesome!! She hasn't figured out who sent it yet 😏

All in!

I wound up ordering the box, Scare Mail, and an extra book. Due to some postal issues I needed to contact the team for help with the order. Not only did David and the team step up, they nailed it! I cannot recommend this enough! PLEASE order through here, completely worth it!

Wow

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!

1st letter

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.

"Best Gift Ever"

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!!!

Best Self Care Gift Ever!

I love horror, heavy metal, camping, concerts, blind boxes, surprises, Edward Lee books, vintage and....Scaremail. Hands down the best gift I've ever lifted myself...and my mom! Forever fan, #theheavymetalmom

Amazing Story so far!!

Two letters in and already can't wait for the next part of the story!!! So excited to see where it goes!!!

The Intrigue is Building!

I received my first two letters so far and love the layer of experiences provided. The groundwork for something big is set and the intrigue is building! I can’t wait to get my next letter. I’m so glad I got this for myself!

Im absolutely obsessed

I love these letters. I shared the link a year ago on Facebook and my mother in law saved the link and bought it for me 10 months later for my birthday and it has been amazing getting these letters! I love getting mail and creepy stories are what I thrive on! She also got me the signed box to keep all of my letters and pen/letter opener in and its perfect!

Fantastic "new" Medium; so cool

A- I love real art and craft from real artists. B- I love the genre. C- The novel and nostalgic combo of tale-by-mail is wonderous, combining the anticipation of a continuing story with the tangible feel and elation of mail. D- The writing and hook (on letter 1) is solid and I can very much tell this is going somewhere. Big bonus love for fellow Texan vets (11B GO CAV). I couldn't be happier and I tell everyone about it. Bravo.

Filling up my box...

...with SCAREMAIL and THE DRIFT. What a great way to store these treasures!
