Big announcement today... a physical Paranatural book is finally in development!

For YEARS this possibility was delayed by not having the first 30 or so pages in print resolution. I was a teen at the time, just starting out, and had no clue about the concept. With my schedule and chronic strain, redrawing 30 comic pages was impossible—it would have meant not making a living in the meantime.

But with the new hybrid prose format working out, Hiveworks staff suggested a compromise solution: redo the first 30 pages of Paranatural as illustrated prose, and publish it along with the rest of chapters 1, 2, and 3! Needless to say, I was happy to try this out if it meant a book in readers' hands.

And I've done just that! For you today I have my roughest rough draft of those pages, rewritten and blocked out with thumbnail illustrations. I've been working on this non-stop for a while, and I want to thank all of you for your patience in the meantime while the work kept me quiet here on Patreon. I'm really proud of how it's turning out, and enjoying getting to write it as a reimagined love letter to the comic that I've made this past decade, so I hope you'll check it out!

I'll be sharing a lot more book development stuff here on Patreon going forward, so please look forward to that! Thank you so much for all your support, which lets me keep doing all this instead of working for someone other than myself. I really, really appreciate it.

I used to listen to a writing podcast called Writing Excuses. Howard Taylor was the only host who did a daily online comic rather than novels, and whenever the others would talk about going back and editing their work, he would accuse, "LLLLUXURY!!"

This is so exciting! I can’t believe you’ve been basically writing a secret second comic in the background, that must have been so much hard work. It looks like it’s going to be amazing though!

I’ve been keeping up with Paranatural for my whole eight-year relationship, and they’ve always been curious but never quite proactive enough to read it on the website, so I’m really excited to hand them a book of my favorite webcomic 😭✨

I have been reading Paranatural since 2012 (when I was the same age as Max and the crew). So hyped!

This is so exciting! I'm loving what you have for reworking the beginning so far. Looking forward to when it's finished so I can have a physical copy of my favorite comic.
