Daisy Johnson writes literary fiction and short stories that combine family conflict, folklore, bodily unease and uncanny landscapes. Everything Under reworks the Oedipus story around canals, memory and a mother-daughter relationship, while Sisters follows two closely bonded sisters after a disturbing event forces them to move with their mother to an isolated house. Fen collects stories rooted in the English fens, where desire, animals and transformation frequently blur the boundary between realism and myth. Johnson's prose is dark, lyrical and unsettling, with fractured memory and strange physical details driving the atmosphere. Her work fits gothic fiction, literary horror, myth retellings and contemporary British fiction. Read more Less
