Life at Rookscroft carries on in its cosy comforting way, and you can be part of that world every month when, a lovingly crafted letter from your friends beyond the sea arrives in your letterbox.

Its stories begin when Jayne, an artist and narrator, discovers that the animals living around her old house have lives, friendships and adventures entirely of their own.
It all begins when Vernon, a self-important pheasant and hat-maker, appears at the study window demanding a portrait, and soon we meet Quentin, a poetry-writing golden pheasant who lives beneath a rose bush and many other wonderful creatures whose lives run parallel to our own. Robin, an endlessly cheerful little quail, is found in a vegetable basket and, as the world grows, travelling circus animals, mysterious cats, ravens, bears, and others wander into their lives.


The stories are cosy, whimsical and often funny, but they're also about friendship, loneliness, belonging and found family.


Letters from Rookscroft lets you follow their lives through the seasons. Each month, a new piece of correspondence from Rookscroft arrives in the post, accompanied by original artwork, tiny letters from the island's inhabitants, and little keepsakes tied to the everyday life and stories happening there.

The Exchange mails you a complete, original scary story in a real stamped envelope on the 1st and 15th of every month. Each letter is a standalone horror story of 1,000–1,500 words, written for the Exchange and held unpublished for twelve months, plus a short note from the Shed. $14.99/month or $149/year. Ships to the US and Canada.

Most story subscriptions serialize one tale across a year of letters. The Exchange does the opposite: every letter is a complete, standalone scary story — beginning, middle, and end in a single envelope — so any mailing can be your first. Members receive two letters a month, mailed on the 1st and 15th, each with a hand-finished kraft envelope, a real stamp, and a short note from the Shed where the stories are kept. Every member gets a permanent Exchange membership number that doubles as a referral code: when someone joins with your number, you both receive a bonus story. Gift memberships include a printable announcement you can hand over (or tuck into a card) while the first letter travels. Writers can submit stories by mail for consideration. The Exchange is run by Pulp Audio Production, the horror podcast company behind the Tiny Terrors audio anthology.
