we are interested in short fiction: we want the uncertain, the tensile, the weird. death kit is unplotted; essays: personal and critical, a sense of one stalking the other; poetry: poems about nature are nice. we like city poems as well.

death kit is a literary magazine, founded in london in 2025. we publish work by writers you know, and those you will know soon enough. faction/fict, poems (good ones), and unimpeachable opinion; we are proud to be the uk’s most affordable and accessible literary magazine.

we want to hear from you, reader, and you, writer: we are a stage on which good and worthwhile literature begins. and we’re very nice, and we pay writers for their work, and we have fun parties sometimes, and deliver to your door. you can also pick us up at select UK stores, and say hello to us by emailing deathdashkit@gmail.com. we’ve also made it so that subscribing to the mag works out cheaper than buying single issues, because our first concern is sharing the work we publish as widely as possible.

we love you. you will never die.
