Morgan Delaney is an Irish writer of dark and fantastic fiction. Like the great Irish writers, Morgan prefers to live abroad. “The place is shaped like a teddy bear, but they called it the Celtic Tiger. You don’t really know where you are,“ he explains.

He has lived in Ireland, Germany, Australia, Kazakhstan and Georgia, and worked, among other things, as a building engineer, until one day, while he was writing a particularly outrageous cost estimate, the wind changed.

And he has been stuck like that—writing lies—ever since.

His favourite film is Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.
