While often seen as a symbol of finality, the Death card gives us transformation—a violent shedding of the old to make way for the new. In this issue, we explore both the literal and symbolic aspects of Death: the decay of the body, the inevitable end of all things, and the rebirth that emerges from destruction.

Inside, you’ll find 60 pages of horror film essays, short stories, poems, original artwork, and an exclusive interview with Chat Pile. From physical decay to the metamorphosis that follows, these pieces unravel what it means to embrace the rot, to be consumed, and to be reborn. 

And so, welcome to the 10th issue of our Tarot series. After all, Death doesn’t ask—it takes. And what it leaves behind is twisted, screaming, and unrecognisable. We can’t wait to hold whatever that looks like in our hands.

    Perfection

    They've done it again. This is still the best zine money can buy! The artwork is always gorgeous, the features are touching and informative and created by people who truly care about the subject material, and this month's interview with Chat Pile just solidifies my theory that they make this zine specifically for me. Incredible work as always.

    I WELCOME DEATH

    The latest Nottingham Horror Collective zine (X: DEATH) is fantastic, packed with marvellous, malevolent and morbid creative curiosities. The art, essays, poetry and everything else featured complements the theme. The love and hard work poured into every page by Ruth & Emily, and their roster of contributors, is truly something to cherish. Small press publishing at its finest.

    Beautifully introspective and contemplative

    I genuinely find this zine very detailed and introspective, through a horror lens. I feel like it's very encouraging of contemplative, introspective behaviours that resonate a lot with me. The tarot theme of the Death card certainly ties into this theme. I personally associate the Death card with ending cycles and adopting new ways of being and thinking, which 1 personally resonate so much with these days. And because it's DIY, it dives deep into taboo, gritty topics that a corporate magazine would otherwise shy from. I highly enjoy how many of the essays do deep dives into the obscure and the disturbing. This feels like a breath of fresh air for me, as introspection and deep dives into special interests are usually discouraged in the hyper productive capitalist culture we live in. This zine feels like the equivalent of sitting down, slowing down, enjoying a coffee and deeply and meaningfully reflecting. Thank you so much !
