Liz Jensen is known for this kind of apocalyptic writing, although interestingly she doesn’t always get described as a writer of speculative fiction, but is regarded as a ‘literary’ author who uses dystopian futuristic tropes – as often happens when the literary establishment decides the writing is too ‘good’ to be classified as popular genre. The Uninvited is a near-future dystopian novel that also taps into the category of ‘weird’ fiction some critics have recently noted in the contemporary English novel.
