“Blowing the stereotypical literature model out of the water”

Popshot Magazine

“Plenty of variety, freedom, fun, irreverence, and ever-expanding talent.”

It’s Nice That

“The Alarmist, a literary magazine that looks and reads like no other. Flashes of colour, beautiful illustration, esoteric typography and superlative writing make this a magazine to watch out for.”

Rough Trade

“The Alarmist strives to release only work that excites. They collect pioneering writing of all forms and release it in a beautifully formed biannual edition.”

Annexe

“The editorial is short and sweet and the design is great and immediate. This magazine seems made for short and powerful.”

Athenaeum Nieuwscentrum

“Possibly the most irreverent new literary magazine I’ve seen.”

Dazed and Confused, Issue 39 (listed as one of the top three young literary magazines)

“This is a fascinating, intriguing, gorgeously designed and refreshingly unpretentious literary journal, and is pretty much perfect for anyone who fancies themselves a thinker but hasn’t lost their sense of humour.”

Newsstand

“The Alarmist hits its third issue, and in doing so goes from strength to strength to strength. Creative writing that oscillates between deeply emotive and downright mischievous might sound oppositional but, by the time The Alarmist is done with you, you’ll wonder why this approach isn’t already huge. Special mention goes to the increasingly witty, increasingly gorgeous design and layout.”
