Welcome to the Spider Garden!

Welcome to the Spider Garden, home of Shaalis the Sacred Androgyne and the Metal Spider Clan - an organic self-sustaining environment in which erotic experimentation is raised to an artistic level and the interplay of dominance and submission brings a new kind of freedom...

I've named this site after the title of my first graphic novel and the series of books that followed. It's my intention that it serve as a starting point for people who are just discovering the world of the Garden on the web and in print. It also presents an opportunity for both new and long-time fans to view unpublished illustrations, photographs, and documentation of live events based on my characters and artwork.

The SPIDER GARDEN and TRANCEPTOR series books including TRANCEPTOR II: IRON GAUGE are now available directly from me. Check the BOOKS/GRAPHIC NOVELS section for availability. To place orders, please contact me at my Earthlink address at the bottom of this page. Debit/credit cards purchases can be made through my PayPal account and I am happy to sign individual copies at no extra charge.

STORE OWNERS/RETAILERS are welcome to inquire for wholesale prices & orders.

AVAILABLE NOW FROM LAST GASP PUBLISHING: The soft-cover edition of INAMORATA: THE EROTIC ART OF MICHAEL MANNING, a 152 page collection of erotic portraits and gallery pieces with introductory essays by Midori and Patrick Califia.
