The Lamp Beside the Door

A sealed dispatch, every other week.

Made to be kept

What to expect from the first envelope onward.

A reliable rhythm

Twenty-four letters arrive twice a month, on one shared story calendar.

History, handled carefully

Fictional lives are rooted in real places, events, and the details that make a period feel lived in.

More than a page

Illustrated ephemera, postcards, and small paper discoveries travel with the story.

The Letterloom format

Follow the thread. Keep the evidence.

Every season is a complete journey with its own protagonist and place. The format stays familiar, so there is always another door to open when one story ends.
