Welcome!

I’m Christopher Forrest, a novelist and former trial lawyer with a passion for compelling stories and mysteries.

For more than 20 years, I stood in courtrooms presenting evidence, dissecting testimony and building narratives. What fascinated me was the story behind it: the motives, the secrets and the psychology.

At Dead Letter Studio, I create stories that unfold through physical letters and accompanying documents, photographs and illustrations. The Titanic Letters, The Asylum Letters and The Salem Letters each arrive in 24 mailings over 12 months, inviting you into a different world of mystery, romance and history.

Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy discovering these stories as much as I enjoy creating them.

— Christopher Forrest
