Death Wish is a book-length collection of anonymous confessions exploring one of humanity’s least admitted impulses: the desire for another person’s death.

Not action.
Not intent.
Thought.

Curated by Angus Bell Young, Death Wish gathers submissions from across the world. Short-form narratives in which contributors articulate, with unflinching honesty, who they wish dead and why, while remaining entirely anonymous. 

Names, locations, dates, and identifying detail are stripped away, leaving only motive, emotion, and interior truth.

Death Wish reads like a collective subconscious. Fragmented, raw, sometimes ugly, sometimes banal, often devastating. Lovers, parents, friends, bosses, strangers. The reasons range from profound betrayal to petty cruelty. No hierarchy. No justification. No moral arbitration.

This is not a book about killing.
It is a book about thinking the unthinkable, and what those thoughts reveal about power, silence, shame, and the limits of civility.
