Plates of Meat – Issue 9 – The Fear Issue

Plates of Meat magazine’s ninth issue, The Fear Issue: God Spits Out the Lukewarm, dives into the raw, unsettling terrain of fear, mediocrity, and intensity. This bold edition challenges readers to confront the spaces we avoid—the quiet, uncomfortable moments that demand our full attention.

The issue features an exclusive spotlight on Celeste, the acclaimed singer and songwriter, captured in a stunning series directed by Silva Coco and photographed by Jesse Crankson. Styled by Ella Lucia.

Additional highlights include:

• Unpublished work by legendary artist Aethelred Eldridge (1957-2014)

• Endearing Chromosome Fuck Up: Script by acclaimed writer Daniel Turvil 

• Time spent with AGA Weiss: Artwork by AGA Weiss

• Interviews with Chloe Rees (by Jasmine Erin) and Sabrina Fuentes of Pretty Sick (interview and images by Manon Macasaet)

• In Conversation with Bell Practice – Mimiko Mcveigh and Earl Cave

• Front and back covers by Freddie Bannister This issue also features compelling imagery by Rhys Williams, Jodie Evans, and Isobel Robinson, along with photography from talents like Chiara Gabillini, and Reuben Davies Lindley.

Editor-in-chief Silva Cunningham reflects, "This issue challenges our relationship with fear—not as something to escape, but as a force that demands we engage fully with life’s sharpest edges. It’s an invitation to reject the lukewarm."
