Announcing 34 ORCHARD’s Spring 2025 ToC!

The ToC for 34 Orchard Issue #11, Spring 2025, has arrived! The issue will be released on Friday, April 25, 2025.

In Issue 11, twenty-two artists tackle the challenges of “turning over a new leaf.” While the phrase may refer to flipping to a book’s blank page, it makes the work of taking a new direction sound too easy. It’s much more like the leaves of trees in an approaching storm: you’re going to get jostled around, twisted, and beaten up. In this issue, we not only have work from the US, Canada, and the UK, but from Argentina, Indonesia, Ireland, Nigeria, and Uruguay.

  1. Downloaded it a few days ago. The cover art is beautiful. Kind of reminds me of Gertrude Abercrombie. I’m still working my way through the stories. Preston Lang’s is strange and great.

    • Thank you, Ben! I am so happy you are enjoying the issue. It means a lot to me! — K PS — I will be in Providence next August for Necronomicon. I think we should get together for a cup of coffee or something.

      • Hey Kristi, sorry for the delay in replying. Yeah, you continue to do a great job putting the magazine together. Would be great to meet up with you next summer. Remind me.
