Diane Cook verkent de rauwe, dierlijke facetten van de menselijke natuur en de strijd van de mensheid met de natuurlijke wereld, vaak met uitstapjes naar dystopische toekomstvisioenen. Haar stilistische benadering wordt gekenmerkt door precieze proza en een talent voor het creëren van spanning die de lezer onderdompelt in gespannen scenario's. Cook duikt in thema's als overleven, familie en identiteitsverlies in werelden die op de rand van instorting staan. Haar werk dwingt lezers om na te denken over onze plaats in de natuur en over wat ons werkelijk menselijk maakt.
