Arachna 4: In The Web of Madness

Arachna 5 Pre-Launch Page Is Live!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 10:24:30 AM

As we finish shipping out the remaining Arachna 4 books and prints, we’re already getting ready for Jennie’s next adventure.

The pre-launch page for Arachna 5: The Mother of Monsters is now live on Kickstarter.

This time, the woman who created Arachna has returned. For years, Evelyn tried to make another one. Every attempt failed — unstable, grotesque, monstrous.

Now she wants the original back.

Hit Notify Me on Launch on the pre-launch page so you’re alerted the moment the campaign goes live, and don’t miss the first-day launch discounts.

Cover Clarification: Swimsuit Issue Vol. 2 – Peril Edition
3 months ago – Fri, Jul 17, 2026 at 02:48:32 PM

Hey everyone,

This update applies to PRINT editions only. Digital editions are not eligible.

We want to address something directly: the image many of you saw prominently featured during the campaign was actually an interior page from Swimsuit Issue Vol. 2: Peril Edition — not the cover.  Please see below.

To be clear: the book itself hasn't changed. Same story, same interior art, same page count — this was a presentation error on our end, not a change to the product you backed. 

That said, we understand some of you were expecting the pictured image to be the print cover, and we want to make it right. Refunds will be issued via PayPal, for print editions only.

— If you HAVEN'T received your print book yet and would like a refund, reply to this update or DM us with your PayPal email and we'll process it.

— If you HAVE already received your print book and would like a refund, DM us your PayPal email. Please ship the book back via USPS Media Mail only — we're only able to reimburse return shipping at Media Mail rates, so packages sent via FedEx, UPS, or other expedited carriers won't have their shipping cost covered. Once we receive the book, we'll send a PayPal payment for the cost of the book, plus your Media Mail shipping fee (hang on to your receipt).

Please get in touch by July 24 if you'd like a refund tied to this issue.

Lesson learned on our end. Going forward, we'll be explicit about which image is the cover and which is interior art in every campaign we run. Thanks for your patience, and for backing X53.
