Inside Every Envelope

What's Inside A Storyville Envelope?

A letter. A clue. A secret someone probably should have kept to themselves.

Each season arrives in twenty-four mailed installments, with maps, clippings, diary pages, sketches, and story fragments tucked inside along the way. The mailbox has never looked so guilty.

The Six Elements

A field guide to your letter.

Not every envelope contains every item. Some weeks, only a letter. Some weeks, four sketches and a warning.

I The Letter
Element I

The Letter

The heart of every envelope.

A message addressed to you from within the story. A confession. A warning. Always a reason to keep reading.

II A Sketch or Photo
Element II

A Sketch or Photo

A face worth remembering.

A face, place, or symbol from inside the story. The kind of detail the letter won’t say out loud.

III A Clipping
Element III

A Clipping

Official enough to trust.

A newspaper article, notice, or scrap from the public record. Suspicious enough to read twice.

IV A Map
Element IV

A Map

Somewhere you need to go.

A route, floor plan, or hand-drawn guide. Whether it leads to the truth is another matter.

V A Puzzle
Element V

A Puzzle

The answer is hiding.

A cipher, riddle, or code placed in your hands. Hidden in the letter, or one detail you nearly missed.

VI The Final Letter
Element VI

The Final Letter

The twenty-fourth envelope.

The last piece. The truth, or as close as anyone inside the story is willing to give you.

The atmosphere that each letter invokes swallows me up for the time I'm reading it.

The Process

Small team. Real mail. Mild postal peril.

  • Written by Haley, a real human being
  • Printed and prepared by a small production team
  • Folded, sealed, and mailed by hand
  • Sent with real stamps through USPS First Class Mail
  • Mailed twice monthly: the 1st-7th and 15th-21st

Each letter leaves our hands knowing exactly whose mailbox it is meant to haunt.

Ready?

The first envelope is waiting for you.

Choose your story, and we'll send the mystery to your mailbox one letter at a time.

★★★★★

The story, the details, the creativity — I look forward to each one.
