Armchair Expeditions is a boutique publisher of hands-on fiction. We publish direct to reader fiction in collectible editions, book group editions, and museum exhibit editions.
For indivdual readers we deliver mystery stories through the physical mail.
All our readers enjoy an experience that includes beautifully crafted letters and ephemeral artifacts that tell a story set in a time period and is based on historical events. Each story, or in our lingo, season, is delivered in a series of mailings over 90 days.
Each mailing introduces the story, characters and clues enabling our readers to piece together the historical mystery.
The current season, “To Have & Have More,” is told through a seresi of letters set in 1939 and follows a detective uncovering a mystery in a Catskills mansion. The artifacts focus on the Gilded Age scandals and events between 1869 and 1881.
Each season is priced at $39 for the full season (8 letters). Shipping in the US is free, for our international readers we will pass through the postage costs.
