Morrissey has written his first novel, ‘List of the Lost’

Morrissey has finished his first ever novel, and it’s called ‘List of the Lost’.

The release will be out at the end of September, with a specific date to be announced within the next week by Penguin Books.

Moz’s True to You website confirmed the novel. It’ll be available in the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa.

Back in 2013, Morrissey released his ‘Autobiography’ via Penguin. The following year he said he was “mid-way through” his first novel after claiming his first work “has been more successful than any record I have ever released.”

Ex-Smiths bandmate Johnny Marr, meanwhile, releases his own autobiography this year.
