Fen is Daisy Johnson's debut short story collection, published in 2016, set in the liminal landscape of the English fens, blending folklore, myth, and modern life with themes of desire, transformation, and the wild. The stories feature surreal and fantastical elements, such as a girl turning into an eel or a house falling in love with a person, exploring the blurred boundaries between humans, animals, and the natural world. It's known for its intense, beautifully written, and often creepy atmosphere, rooted in the specific geography and folklore of the region.
