The first Grave Goods Case File is being researched now. Its subject, sources, and final contents will be disclosed only when they meet the standard of the archive.

Archival reproductions
Maps, photographs, records, or clippings chosen for context.

One tactile detail selected because it belongs with the story.
Original audio telling
A private listening room for the full account.
Numbered collector card
A record of your place in a limited edition.

These are the editorial rooms Grave Goods returns to—each one approached with curiosity, context, and a respect for the record.

Lives, work, and stories history left in the margins.

About Dead Letter Society
A dark-history archive and storytelling house.
Dead Letter Society follows the strange, overlooked, and unresolved stories that history left behind. We work from research and source material, distinguish fact from speculation, and treat real people and their histories with respect.
Read our approachFrequently recovered questions
The facts, before the file opens.
What is a Case File?
A Case File is a limited-edition collectible built around one real historical story. Its final form may include a dossier, reproductions, an object, and an audio telling; contents vary with the case and are confirmed before any release.
When will Case File 001 release?
Case File 001 is currently in research and no release date has been announced. Founding collectors receive the first verified notice when the file is ready to open.
How do limited editions work?
Each release is intentionally small and individually numbered. The founding-collector edition for Case File 001 is planned for 500 numbered copies, with final availability announced to subscribers first.
Are the stories real?
Yes. Grave Goods is research-backed and separates documented sources from interpretation or unresolved questions. We do not present speculation as fact, and we approach real people with care.
