Matthew Fox lives in Stockholm, Sweden with his partner and their two young children.
His latest book for readers aged 9 to 13 is the THE LOVELY DARK. Set in London in the aftermath of the pandemic, it’s a book about grief, myth, and the resilience of the human imagination.
‘I’m trying to write grown-up books for kids and reluctant readers of all ages. My books are meant to be read quickly: short chapters, simple prose, lots of action. The aim is a kind of magical seriousness – and all that means is that I want the books to be as magical as possible and as serious as possible. They should feel like Powell & Pressburger movies for kids – off-beat, audacious, romantic, literal, in glorious Technicolor…’
