Locked for life. 300 spots only. No renewals at this rate.

You are not a reader.
You are a handler.

Every month, a physical package arrives at your door. Inside: intercepted memos, handwritten letters, surveillance reports, and documents leaked from deep inside the Vega Outfit — a Cuban-American crime organization operating out of Miami in 1983.

"The documents don't explain themselves. You piece it together. Every month, the story gets darker."

You don't receive a novel. You receive intelligence. The kind that gets people killed. The Informant is serialized mob fiction delivered as in-universe physical correspondence — s one monthly package, twelve issues per year, one criminal organization slowly unraveling.

What they said
when the documents arrived

The format is genius. It naturally builds anticipation. Exceptional writing and world building — I can't wait to see more.

Roger P.  ·  Early Reader

The Informant is literally the only thing I look forward to when I go to the mailbox. The package is well thought out and really makes you feel like you're in the story.

Rene C.  ·  Early Reader

I read the preliminary story and I can't wait for it to start. I want to know how this all unfolds.

What arrives in your mailbox

Every package contains a curated set of in-universe documents — physical artifacts from inside the Vega Outfit. Printed on period-appropriate paper stock. Aged. Real.

Intercepted Letters

Handwritten correspondence between key figures. Personal. Incriminating. Occasionally encrypted.

Internal Memos

Typed directives from leadership. Orders that reveal the hierarchy — and who's being played.

Surveillance Reports

Field notes from someone watching. Who's watching whom is part of the mystery.

Maps & Diagrams

Hand-annotated locations, routes, and organizational charts. The kind you're not supposed to have.

Evidence Fragments

Photographs, receipts, clippings. Physical details that make the world real.

The Unexpected

Each issue includes something that changes what you thought you knew. The story is never what it appears.

From inside the Outfit

These are the kinds of documents that arrive. Every month. In your mailbox. From people who don't exist.

Manny —

I know what you're being asked to do. I know who asked you. Whatever he told you about me, you need to understand something: he is not protecting you. He is using you.

Do not be in that building on Friday.

— C

When I came across the story of this Cuban family and the empire they built, I had one thought: someone has to tell this story the right way. So I built The Informant.

The mail format wasn't a gimmick. I want every document, every piece of aged paper that arrives at your door, to feel like it actually came out of 1983 Miami — not a simulation of that world, but an artifact from it.

The things people ask

Who built this?

Erik — a serial entrepreneur who came across the story of a Cuban-American crime family operating out of 1980s Miami and became obsessed with finding a way to tell it. The Informant is the result. The fiction is original. The world it's drawn from is not.

When does the first package ship?

Founder packages ship before the general launch. You'll receive updates throughout the build — you'll know exactly when your first package is on its way.

What's actually in each package?

Physical documents — letters, memos, surveillance reports, maps, and other artifacts — printed and finished to look like they came out of 1983 Miami. Every item is in-universe. Nothing breaks the fiction.

Do I need to read the previous issues to understand new ones?

The series is serialized — each issue builds on the last. Founder subscribers start from Issue 1 and experience the story from the beginning.

Is this a book club or a subscription box?

Neither. There is no book. You receive original fiction written as primary source documents — correspondence, intelligence reports, and artifacts from inside a fictional criminal organization. You're the one putting the story together.

What happens if I don't claim a founder spot?

Once 300 spots are claimed, the founder offer closes. The regular rate is $14.99/month or $149/year — $50 more per year than what founders pay. The founder rate is permanent for those who claim it.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes. The Informant ships to both the US and Canada.
