E. J. Swift crea narrativa speculativa che spesso approfondisce le ramificazioni del cambiamento climatico e le forze trasformative che esso scatena.

Swift è nota per la sua ponderata costruzione del mondo e per l'esame della resilienza umana di fronte ai sconvolgimenti ambientali. I suoi racconti sono stati riconosciuti per la loro originalità e le loro acute intuizioni sui futuri potenziali.
Imagine a world filled with fierce, fiery beings, hiding in our shadows, in our dreams, under our skins. Eavesdropping and exploring; savaging our bodies, saving our souls. They are monsters, saviours, victims, childhood friends. Some have called them genies: these are the Djinn. And they are everywhere.
Past, present and future collide in E. J. Swift's The Coral Bones, as three women battle against ecological disaster in three different eras. A powerful elegy to the disappearing world of Australia's unique and fascinating ecosystem, a novel of intertwining stories for the climate change era - and a vision of a more hopeful future.
