Irene Cross
Irene Cross is an American novelist writing near-future dystopian fiction for adult readers. Her work explores the fault lines of modern life—power, surveillance, class, gender, environmental decline, and the quiet machinery of social collapse. With prose that is incisive, unsentimental, and psychologically sharp, Cross examines the moment when institutions begin to fail and ordinary people must decide what they are willing to accept in order to survive.
My Story
Her fiction inhabits the space where policy becomes violence, convenience becomes control, and civility begins to resemble complicity. Rather than imagining distant dystopias, Cross writes about futures that feel unsettlingly close, asking not what the world might become, but what the present is already preparing us to allow.
​
Known for work that is morally clear, unflinching, and startlingly human, Cross writes stories where brutality is never spectacle and hope, when it appears, must be earned.
​
She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her spouse.
