WE DID IT! Let's celebrate!
You all worked SO HARD, I worked even harder...and now we are about to print a BUNCH of beautiful new books, prints and stickers for you!! And of course the glorious slipcase! Truly exceeded our expectations! (No really, I was designing more stretch goals each day to keep up!)
And since I barely had time to share our fifth and final Deluxe Sticker design (we got so very close to unlocking it anyway) I think we can just UNLOCK it too! We earned this one!
Glam Dahlia (sticker 5) will also get printed!
ALL 5 UNLOCKED!
We are just a small independent self-pubishing operation dreaming big dreams for our girls in masks and they have so much of their story left to be told. Thank you all!
We want to say hello to all our new readers and last minute backers, we can’t wait for you to fall in love with this world! And to those who have been here since the beginning, we honestly made this book for you. Without the devoted interest you’ve shown in the strange and mysterious tale of Dahlia Nyx, this collected edition would not be as special. You all showed up and showed us you care!
Thank you all for letting us create cool new art of these ladies and for always coming back to see what Justin and I have in store for them next. We're simply obsessed, and we are glad you are, too.
And … Issue 7 is already in the works.. won’t be long for what happens next!
What IS Next?
Late pledges and add-ons will be up for a bit while we finalize our order count. We will be opening a BackerKit shop down the road with any remaining inventory and give backers one last chance to add items and collect shipping via a BackerKit survey, but don't worry about that just yet!
This isn't my first rodeo, to be clear! I will be here to update you as we move along with the rest of the fulfillment process and inform you on what comes next very soon!
For now, let's just CELEBRATE!
FINAL COUNTDOWN!

You can also find Hardcover books with Slipcase in the add-ons for $80 (late pledges will be $85) just in case you want a second book to gift to a friend.

It's also not too late to upgrade your pledge and get all those bonus items! Pssst... there are only a couple Deluxe Sketch tier spots left if you want a one-of-a-kind sketch inside your book!

Just over 3 DAYS LEFT and we unlocked the first Deluxe Sticker!

Unlocks at 60K, digital mock-up not final
Mark your calendars!
Some Skull Maskerade prep has begun for the rest of my 2026 Convention season (wink, wink SDCC). As always, Skull Maskerade has a huge presence at the Carlations table and there's always something new to see! While these new books will not be here for most of these events yet, there are always other fun ways to celebrate the Deadlands. We always love meeting our readers and I will probably ask you who your favorite character is, so always stop by and tell us you are a backer!
