How the Wallflower Wins a Duke

Jul 19, 2024 | libraryjournal.com | Lucy Morris

As the daughter of an up-and-coming architect trying to cement his place in society, Marina dutifully made her debut and attends stodgy social functions full of arrogant aristocrats.

Tears in the Rain

Jun 19, 2023 | thelondonmagazine.org | Lucy Morris

Patrick ChristieThe interior surfaces of the exhibition’s final room were so spotlessly white that it was difficult to tell where the walls met the floor, the ceiling or each other. It gave Simeon the sensation of being at the centre of a vast void outside of space-time.

Man Collection by Ed Cottrell - The London Magazine

Ed CottrellShe was waiting by the delicatessen fridges, on a wooden seat. She looked behind her, through the window, and watched my approach with her neck twisted. The shop was empty.

Dizz Tate on Florida and Girlhood - The London Magazine

Jun 12, 2023 | thelondonmagazine.org | Lucy Morris

Katie TobinDizz Tate talks to The London Magazine about Southern Gothic literature, genre, and the move from short fiction to her first novel. I found your description of Florida so visceral and enigmatic, and Brutes really encapsulates it incredibly well. I’m wondering if you could talk a little bit about how your own experiences informed how you chose to characterise the setting? I moved to Florida from London when I was eight years old, and lived there until I was seventeen.
