HAPPY RELEASE DAY! 34 ORCHARD ISSUE 11 HAS ARRIVED!

Thrilled to announce that 34 Orchard Issue 11 is now available!

In Issue 11, a frustrated Frito-Lay worker indulges the alternate reality he’s spent years avoiding, and an Alaskan detective’s fresh beginning in the City of Angels might have more to do with endings than he’d expected.  A retiring Christmas elf forced to break tradition discovers that no sacrifice he makes will avoid disaster.

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.

34 ORCHARD ISSUE 5 has arrived!

It’s time … twenty-five artists focus on the things we refuse to see. Lovecraftian crazy in the Old West, Kerouac-style bummin’ with a morbid twist, Poe-esque madness on the open sea, Nin-inspired snails and more await. There are seven heartbreaking, chilling poems, a nightmare-inducing tale from Poland, and an exclusive excerpt from a forthcoming speculative memoir. A few familiar favorites, like Ali Seay, Die Booth, and Patricia Bettis, and some fresh new voices. You’ll want to get your eyes on this issue.

The downloadable PDF is designed so that it can be printed on double-sided paper for easy reading like a print magazine. As always, the issue is free, but there is a donation link should you choose to contribute.
