I was very excited to see the page is finally active. Very curious to see what these two new projects involve!

Well, it's May 9th, and the website is now live www.lettersfromdeadpeople.com/It's a monthly subscription, $12.99 per month (discounts for longer commitments) seemingly involving letters from, ahem, dead people.

So... do you just get one letter a month for 13 bucks? Does that seem a bit steep a cost?

I was hoping for something more akin to the haunted miniatures in Part One. I'm curious to see how this will play out. I'm guessing the letters may connect into a more involved mystery. But yes, I hope there's more to it than just one letter in an envelope each month, regardless of price. I REALLY enjoyed The Haunted Dollhouse. The second project - Seance Dinner Party - does sound intriguing!

"Subscribe to receive a monthly letter ... ."
Apparently one letter per month. The price does seem quite high because the letters won't be individually handwritten, but copies, even though they have to be distressed by hand.
I'm going to pass.

You will not even order the first, to see what it is all about? I do, by the way, feel compelled to point out that, according to the website, each mailing will contain the letter in question as well as "several accompanying documents". The single mailing subscription can also be purchased from cratejoy.com, where the contents are described as "an artfully handcrafted reproduction of real historical documents". I assume "handcrafted" refers to paper aging techniques rather than handwritten documents, but I am willing to try it out first - the thought of joining in later, having missed out on the first letter(s) leaves a bad taste.

No, I won't order the first.
While I greatly enjoyed making The Haunted Dollhouse, I found the lack of resolution annoying. It's a murder mystery, several murders actually, with every thread left hanging at the end. You're not even sure who's alive or dead. Too few answers for my taste.

Well, apparently the letters don't ship to Germany. My payment was just cancelled. Anyone else not from the US succeeded ordering these?

Apparently there is a glitch with PayPal not taking international shipping into account. They are trying to fix this at the moment.

Ah - well I've just done the three month sub to the UK and no international shipping was added - in my naievty I thought that the pricing structure might actually give us a break on shipping costs....
No doubt I'll be cancelled shortly...

And here I was so happy about not being hit with hefty shipping fee... Well, at least flat letters should go through customs unimpeded.
Time to sit back then, and wait for the implementation of international shipping!
