Announcing the ToC for 34 ORCHARD’s Spring 2026 issue!

We’re thrilled to present our table of contents for the Spring 2026 issue, which will be released on April 25, 2026.

34 ORCHARD ISSUE 13 FINAL COVER

Sooner or later, that delusion you created to make the pain of a traumatic reality feel safer, the one you created to get through it, breaks down. When it does, it’s like being destroyed all over again.

In Issue 13, twenty artists cope with the breakdown of delusion. A town believes its missing youth troop is somewhere safe despite a dead scoutmaster and strange clues left behind—but the truth they’re ignoring isn’t the one they would’ve imagined, and it’s far worse. An orca shows us that motherhood is fraught with the delusion that she can always keep her offspring safe. A couple is shattered to discover that not only can one romantic evening in the woods fail to repair their relationship, it can make things uglier. A desperate soul hooked on tarot cards continuously refuses to accept their answers. And Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy’s wedding gown, destroyed and rebuilt before the big day, was an omen that Camelot itself would come apart at the seams, an omen willfully unacknowledged.

Sometimes, being trapped in a trauma cycle can yield surprising things.

Welcome to the house that won’t let you live the lie.

Welcome to 34 Orchard.
