A body with no eyes.

A spectral visitor.

Good question! Stories by Post is run by Sam, an aspiring author based in Auckland, New Zealand. Every two weeks, I send subscribers a new chapter of a story in the mail, along with puzzles, games, clues, and other supplemental story materials. Right now, that story is The Retreat, a mystery thriller set in a Northland nature reserve.
Every two weeks, you’ll receive the latest chapter of The Retreat in your mailbox, along with puzzles, games, clues, and other supplemental story material.
For example, the first chapter pack includes a map of the crime scene, a post card from the fictional setting of Codgers Bay, and an ominous tract from a mysterious prophet.
