The Keeper
An Irish speculative folk-horror story, told through letters.
A parish at the edge of the map. A post that has not been filled in living memory. And a bundle of letters that were never meant to leave the house.
The Keeper unfolds one envelope at a time. Each installment is a letter, a note, or a scrap of the record, written in the hands of the people who lived it. Read them in order, and read them slowly. The story rewards patience.
“You will want to know why I stayed. I can only tell you that the house asked, and I did not know how to refuse it.”

Questions people ask first
What exactly arrives in the post?
One envelope a month containing that month’s installment of the story: a printed letter or document, one or two small story objects, and a short note from the club. Everything is physical. There is nothing to log in to.
How long does a story run?
The Keeper runs for six monthly installments. Future stories may be shorter or longer, and we will always say up front how many envelopes to expect.
Can I join part-way through?
Yes. New members start from the first installment so the story makes sense, and catch up one envelope a month. If you would rather receive the back installments together, choose the whole-story option.
Do you post outside Ireland?
We post to Ireland, the UK, the EU and the US. Postage is included in the membership price. Delivery times vary by country, and we allow for that when we schedule each installment.
